India’s SEBI open to revising mutual‑fund brokerage fee cap amid industry push‑back

SEBI may raise the planned brokerage fee cap for mutual funds after industry feedback, affecting research access and fund costs.
India’s market regulator is reconsidering its proposed cap on brokerage fees paid by mutual funds, signalling acceptance of industry concerns that the initially planned cut from 12 basis points to 2 may hamper access to quality research.
The consultations are ongoing and a final decision is expected by mid‑November, which could influence fund‑manager costs, research budgets and ultimately portfolio returns for retail investors.
