SEBI, by way of Notification dated July 25, 2024, has notified November 1, 2024, as the effective date for implementation of the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) (Amendment) Regulations, 2022 (‘2022 Amendment’) (‘PIT Regulations’). The 2022 Amendment, which was issued on November 24, 2022, extended the applicability of the PIT Regulations to mutual funds, and provided, inter alia, for restrictions on communication in relation to and trading by insiders in the units of mutual funds. In such case, ‘insider’ would mean any person who is: (i) in possession of or having access to unpublished price sensitive information (‘UPSI’) pertaining to a scheme; or (ii) any person who, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, is associated or has been associated during the two months prior to the concerned act with the mutual fund, asset management company and trustees, and has access to UPSI.
