Presently, only FIIs/sub-accounts and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)
are allowed to directly invest in Indian equity market. In this
arrangement, a large number of foreign investors termed as
Qualified Foreign Investors (QFIs – defined to mean non-resident
investors, other than SEBI registered FIIs and SEBI registered FVCIs,
who meet the KYC requirements of SEBI), in particular, a large set of
diversified individual foreign nationals who are desirous of investing
in Indian equity market do not have direct access to Indian equity
market. In the absence of availability of direct route, many QFIs find
difficulties in investing in Indian equity market.
As a first step in this direction, QFIs have been permitted direct
access to Indian Mutual Funds schemes. As a next logical step, the
Government of India (GOI) has now been decided to allow QFIs to
directly invest in Indian equity market in order to widen the class of
investors, attract more foreign funds and reduce market volatility
and to deepen the Indian capital market.

It has been decided that the time period for which funds (by way of
foreign inward remittance through normal banking channels from
QFIs as well as by way of credit of redemption proceeds of the units
of domestic Mutual Funds by QFIs in India) can be kept in the single
rupee pool bank account of the DP under the scheme for
investment by QFIs in units of domestic Mutual Funds has been
increased to 5 working days (including the day of credit of funds
