TITLE: India's Securities and Exchange Board Launches Consultation on Gift Cards for Mutual Funds BODY: On March 24, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) launched a consultation on the introduction of gift cards and gift prepaid payment instruments (PPIs) for mutual funds. The consultation seeks to explore the feasibility and regulatory framework for offering gift cards and gift PPIs as a mechanism to facilitate mutual fund investments. Gift cards and PPIs would allow individuals to purchase mutual fund units as gifts, potentially broadening access to mutual fund products and enhancing investor participation in the securities market. This initiative aims to simplify the gifting process for mutual funds while maintaining appropriate investor protections and regulatory oversight. The proposal is significant for mutual fund distributors, asset management companies, and investors seeking alternative investment gifting mechanisms. By introducing gift-based instruments, SEBI intends to create a more accessible entry point for new investors and encourage broader participation in mutual fund markets. Stakeholders are invited to submit comments on the consultation paper through SEBI's public comments portal. The specific comment submission deadline has not been specified in the available information, but responses should be submitted via the designated consultation platform on SEBI's website. **Reference:** Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) – Consultation Paper on introduction of Gift Card/Gift PPI (Prepaid Payment Instrument) for Mutual Funds, March 24, 2026.
