SEBI on Tuesday increased the investment limit for payments through UPI mechanism for retail investors buying debt securities in public issues to ₹5 lakh from ₹2 lakh at present in its effort to bring ease of investment for investors.
The new framework will be applicable to public issues of debt securities which open on or after May 1, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said in a circular.
The current SEBI rules provide an option to investors to apply in public issues of debt securities with the facility to block funds through UPI (unified payment interface) mechanism for application value of up to ₹2 lakh.
Based on discussions with market participants and in order to bring uniformity in the requirements as well as for ease of investment for investors, SEBI has now decided to increase the limit for investment through UPI mechanism to ₹5 lakh.
The investor may utilise the mechanism to block the funds for application value of up to ₹5 lakh per application.
