MUMBAI, INDIA – October 21, 2025 – The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has ushered in a transformative era for the Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) sector with major regulatory amendments in 2025. Corpzo.com, the premier digital compliance partner for AIFs, is urging fund managers and sponsors to immediately review their structures and operations to comply with the new framework, which focuses on Co-Investment Vehicles (CIVs) and Angel Funds.

The core of the recent SEBI circulars, particularly impacting Category I and II AIFs, is a significant step towards greater efficiency and transparency. Corpzo's platform is fully updated to assist funds in navigating these changes seamlessly.

"The new SEBI rules, especially the introduction of the CIV scheme, are designed to unlock vast pools of accredited capital and simplify complex deal structures," said [Name and Title of a relevant person, e.g., Head of Regulatory Affairs] at Corpzo. "However, the compliance requirements—like filing the Shelf Placement Memorandum (PPM) for CIVs and maintaining strict segregation of assets—are stringent. Our role is to provide the expert guidance and digital tools necessary to turn this regulatory change into a competitive advantage for our clients."

Key Highlights of the New SEBI AIF Framework

The primary changes introduced by SEBI that AIF managers must address immediately include:

Simplified Co-Investments (CIVs): Category I and II AIFs can now offer co-investment opportunities to their accredited investors through a dedicated Co-Investment Vehicle (CIV) Scheme within the AIF structure itself. This bypasses the need for the previous dual-registration under PMS rules, making co-deals faster and more efficient. Each CIV must have its own separate bank account and demat account, and a detailed Shelf PPM must be filed with SEBI.

Angel Funds Overhaul: Angel Funds are now a distinct sub-category under Category I AIFs, moving out from under Venture Capital Funds. They are mandated to raise capital exclusively from Accredited Investors and must have a minimum of five Accredited Investors before their first close. New rules also govern the lock-in period, which is now one year for investments.

Mandatory Allocation Methodology: Managers must now disclose a clear, non-discretionary method in the PPM for allocating investment opportunities among investors, which must be adhered to from October 15, 2025.

Corpzo.com's online platform provides managers with the customized documentation, compliance monitoring, and advisory support needed to swiftly implement these new rules and ensure the fund remains compliant throughout its lifecycle.
