Overview
PMS Bazaar, India's leading alternative‑investments platform, announced a strategic collaboration with NSDL Database Management Limited (NDML Accreditation Agency) to simplify and accelerate the SEBI Accredited Investor certification process for eligible investors and entities.
Purpose and Benefits
Under SEBI's Accredited Investor framework, eligible participants can enjoy lower minimum investment thresholds across Portfolio Management Services (PMS), Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and other alternative‑investment products, as well as access to sophisticated investment opportunities and regulatory flexibilities. The partnership aims to make this certification simpler, faster and more accessible through end‑to‑end assistance.
Certification Process
Upon receipt of all required documents, PMS Bazaar initiates the application immediately. NDML typically issues the Accredited Investor Certificate on a T+1 basis, subject to proper documentation and completion of the prescribed certification fees. No additional platform, service or processing fee is charged by PMS Bazaar; investors pay only the statutory fees set for the certification.
Demonstration of Efficiency
During the announcement at the PMS Bazaar Bengaluru Conclave, several participants applied for and received their Accredited Investor Certificates within a few hours on the same day, illustrating the efficiency of the new streamlined workflow.
Scope of Assistance
Beyond individual investors, PMS Bazaar extends handholding services to Asset Managers, Wealth Managers, Family Offices and Distributors, facilitating certification for their eligible clients through the NDML Accreditation Agency.
