SEBI has made it easier for foreign portfolio investors to register by adding a digital signature option.
What’s changing?
The regulator now allows investors to get a digital signature certificate (DSC) directly while filling out the Common Application Form (CAF) online.
How it works
- Visit the CAF portal.
- Select the option to apply for a DSC.
- Complete the combined form in one go, without separate paperwork.
Why it matters
This streamlines the onboarding process, cuts down on manual steps, and speeds up the time it takes for foreign investors to start trading in Indian markets.
