REs refer to banks, NBFCs and All-India Financial Institutions.
The RBI had issued guidelines in December 2023 and later in March 2024 prescribing the regulatory guidelines in respect of investment by the REs of the Reserve Bank in AIFs.
The guidelines have been reviewed, inter alia, taking into account industry feedback as well as the regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) relating to specific due diligence of investors and investments of AIFs, the RBI said in a circular on Tuesday.
Live Events
"No RE shall individually contribute more than 10 per cent of the corpus of an AIF Scheme," the circular said.
Collective contribution by all REs in any AIF Scheme shall not be more than 20 per cent of the corpus of that scheme.
"If a RE contributes more than five per cent of the corpus of an AIF Scheme, which also has downstream investment in a debtor company of the RE, then the RE shall be required to make 100 per cent provision to the extent of its proportionate investment in the debtor company through the AIF Scheme, subject to a maximum of the direct loan and/ or investment exposure of the RE to the debtor company," it said.
The circular also said the RBI may, in consultation with the government, exempt certain AIFs from the scope of the existing circulars and the revised Directions.

Trusts allow Tata Sons exit talks with SP Group
Tata Trusts passed resolutions affirming Tata Sons should remain an unlisted private company, and initiate discussions with minority shareholder Shapoorji Pallonji (SP) Group to provide it an exit, marking a key strategic shift. This followed a day-long meeting on Monday, attended by all trustees and marked by intense discussions, said people with knowledge of the matter. Tata Sons is the holding company of the group. 'Tata Sons chairman is requested to exercise best endeavours to ensure Tata Sons does not change its current status as an unlisted private company and fully engages with the Reserve Bank of India in this regard,' said the resolution passed by the board of the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) that was reviewed by ET.

People aware of developments said the Trusts board also approved initiation of the process to renew the term of N Chandrasekaran as chairman of Tata Sons beyond February 2027. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Susan Boyle Is Now so Thin and Looks Beautiful! Undo 'It was agreed at the meeting to requestthe chairman of Tata Sons to explore all possible avenues for ensuring there was no change in the status of Tata Sons as it currently stood. This included a dialogue with the minority shareholders, that is, SP Group, for providing an exit to them from Tata Sons,' the resolution said. 'The chairman is also requested to keep SRTT informed of progress on these matters.' Live Events A mail sent to Tata Trusts did not receive a response till time of going to press. The move is significant and would have a bearing on the fortunes of SP Group, which is burdened with debt. It has pledged its entire 18.37% stake in Tata Sons to raise funds to service some of this debt. Lenders to SP Group will have to offer the first right of refusal to Tata Sons under the holding company's Articles of Association, if these pledges were to be invoked. Chandrasekaran staying on is seen as vital for continuity as Tata Sons ramps up investments in new sectors. The group is injecting Rs 30,000 crore into emerging businesses such as Tata Digital, Tata Electronics and Air India, besides its defence and battery units. This is in addition to the $120 billion already committed in recent years. Group to group The resolution on seeking a way to give SP Group an exit signifies a change in stance. Ties with SP Group had soured over the ouster of the late Cyrus Mistry as Tata Sons chairman in October 2022. He was a member of the family that founded and runs SP Group. Tata group's total FY25 revenue was Rs 15.34 lakh crore, with net profit at Rs 1.13 lakh crore and a market cap of Rs 37.84 lakh crore. Tata Sons itself reported a 24% rise in revenue to Rs 5.92 lakh crore, while net profit fell 17% to Rs 28,898 crore. No reason was cited for the decline. However, its dividend payout doubled to Rs 1,414.5 crore, from Rs 707.2 crore in FY24. Tata Sons had 323 subsidiaries, 39 associates and 32 joint ventures in FY25. SP Group earlier this year urged RBI to push for a public listing of Tata Sons, arguing that it would benefit all stakeholders. Tata Sons was classified as an upper layer NBFC (NBFC-UL) in September 2022, mandating it to list by September 2025. The company has since applied to RBI for deregistration and exemption from listing.

Maximize Your Returns: Can multi-asset funds outperform traditional equity investments?
Mumbai: You don't need to go all in on equities to earn competitive returns. A multi-asset diversified portfolio of equity, debt and gold -50:25:25 - would have delivered the second-best returns in seven of the past 10 years, while keeping volatility in check, according to a Franklin Templeton study. Investors looking to bet on this outcome could consider multi-asset funds . Between 2016 and 2025, equity (Nifty 500 Total Returns Index or TRI) delivered an average return of 14.8%, gold returned 14.7%, and debt (Crisil Composite Bond Index) gave 7.38% every year. In comparison, a multi-asset portfolio with 50% in equity, along with 25% each in debt, and gold generated an average return of 13.6%, with significantly lower volatility.

They aim to deliver ease from the volatility linked to plain vanilla equity funds. Agencies This category is in vogue because of elevated share valuations, resulting in more investors putting money in these schemes. 'Equities are trading above long term averages and if that is the only asset you hold, one could end up with tepid returns,' says S Shankar, certified financial planner, Credo Capital. Live Events Shankar believes multi asset funds — which include gold, silver, and debt — can cushion potential declines in equities. Assets under management in multi asset funds rose 51% over the past year — from Rs 86,000 crore in June 2024 to Rs 1.3 lakh crore in June 2025. Fund managers also point to the tax efficiency of these products as a key draw for wealthy investors. 'Multi asset funds give you the benefits of asset class rebalancing and tax efficiency,' says Rajasa. If investors were to invest separately in gold, equity, and debt and rebalance the portfolio every year, the resulting tax outgo could be significantly higher, denting overall post-tax returns. Multi-Asset Allocation funds, as a product category, are taxed on the basis of the equity allocation.

iPhone 18 could be a flip phone! Apple's first foldable tipped for 2026 with eye-watering price tag
Apple 's first foldable tipped for 2026: Apple is reportedly preparing to enter the foldable phone race finally after all these years. While Samsung, Huawei, and Motorola have all announced folding smartphones, Apple has remained silent. However, that silence may come to an end in 2026 with the rumored release of the iPhone Fold, which is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. Apple appears to be on track to shake up the foldable market, with revenue projections in the billions.

If Apple keeps using the same naming system, the device might come out at the same time as the iPhone 18 series. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bolivia: Bathroom Remodeling Trends in 2025 May Surprise You Bathroom Remodeling | Search Ads Search Now Undo What will Apple's foldable be like compared to Samsung's? People think that Apple's rumored foldable device will look like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series, which is shaped like a book. It will probably have a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner display, making it one of the biggest iPhones ever. One big plus? Apple may have figured out how to get rid of the ugly crease that Samsung's foldables have. Reports say that Apple is working on a folding screen that doesn't have any creases, which would be a big step forward in foldable technology, as per a report by the Daily Mail. Live Events ALSO READ: iOS 18.6 is live — change these 10 hidden settings now to supercharge your iPhone Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 has an 8-inch inner display, but it still has a crease and a starting price that is very close to what Apple is said to be planning. Why does the iPhone Fold cost so much? That new idea won't be cheap. Chatterjee says that the foldable iPhone could come out with a starting price of $1,999, which is about $1,000 more than the base model of Apple's current flagship phone, the iPhone 16 Pro. Even the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max, which costs $1,599 and is Apple's most expensive phone, doesn't come close. This price isn't too far off from what other things are selling for right now. Depending on the amount of storage, Samsung's foldables cost between $1,999 and $2,419. Apple's high-end customers might be willing to pay a lot for something new, especially if it has big design improvements. What Features Could Set the iPhone Fold Apart? The iPhone Fold is expected to have all the features that Apple fans love, plus maybe a little more power, in addition to the foldable display. We don't know the final hardware specs yet, but people are very excited about them. Chatterjee says that Apple's new foldable could bring in an amazing $65 billion in sales, which would give the tech giant a "high-single-digit" boost in earnings over the next few years. He thinks that shipments will start off slowly, with sales in the "low teens" of millions by 2027 and then grow to 45 million units by 2029. Apple's entry could change the way foldable phones work. This move, which many people have been waiting for, is still a big change for Apple. The company is well-known for being cautious about changes to form factors. But Apple is the only company that can make foldable smartphones as popular as touchscreens. FAQs Will the iPhone 18 be foldable? According to reports, the iPhone 18 could include Apple's first foldable model, which is expected to launch in 2026. How much will the iPhone Fold cost? Analysts predict that the foldable iPhone will cost $1,999, making it Apple's most expensive phone yet.
