In a circular on Wednesday, the watchdog said such applications seeking approval for the proposed change in control of the Sponsor and/or Manager of the AIF can be filed with Sebi prior to filing the applications with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
"Upon being satisfied with compliance of the applicable regulatory requirements, in-principle approval will be granted by Sebi," it said. According to the regulator, the validity of such in-principle approval would be three months from the date of issuance, within which the relevant application should be made to NCLT.
