Sebi Proposes Rs 2,000 Incentive To Boost Mutual Fund Investing In Smaller Cities, Women

Sebi has proposed a new incentive framework for mutual fund distributors to encourage greater participation from investors in cities beyond the top 30 as well as from women investors.

Key Highlights:

Asset management companies (AMCs) can offer distributors up to Rs 2,000 as additional commission for onboarding new individual investors from non–top-30 cities and for bringing in new women investors.
The additional payout will be funded through the investor education fund.
Distributors will be eligible for the extra commission for mobilising investments from new women investors even within the top-30 cities.
Dual incentives for the same investor will not be permitted.

The proposed incentive structure is scheduled to come into effect from February 1, 2026.
