New Data Privacy Rules for FPIs Soon

By
Current norms in conflict with domestic laws of several countries
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is working on new data privacy norms for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs). The move comes as the regulations are said to be in conflict with the domestic laws of several countries, especially European nations and Canada, which together account for 40% of total FPI flows into India.
The concerns of FPIs relate mostly to the compatibility of Sebi’s new know-your-customer (KYC) requirements with data localisation norms applicable in their home countries. Exemptions for publicly pooled funds along with the creation of a high-end encrypted platform for data exchange and storage are some of the key measures under the regulator’s consideration, said two people aware of the development. The process assumes significance as Sebi had set a March 2019 deadline for FPIs to submit KYC documentation as per the revised rules.

The stringent six-month deadline has attracted the ire of several sections of the industry that fear it will lead to a disruption of wel...
