Benefits
Why fund managers work with us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Right structure from day one
AIF Category I (including the VCF sub-category) versus the older VCF regulations — we recommend the route that fits your strategy and investor base.
Application that SEBI accepts
Fund documents, placement memorandums, and disclosures prepared the way SEBI expects — fewer queries, faster grant.
Manager and sponsor structuring
We set up the investment manager entity and align sponsor commitments with the regulations.
Post-registration compliance mapped
Periodic reporting, valuation norms, and disclosure obligations — you know the ongoing load before you commit.
Documents
What documents are required for SEBI AIF registration?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
SEBI AIF registration process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 7
Choose the AIF category and structure
Venture capital funds register with SEBI as Category I Alternative Investment Funds under the SEBI (AIF) Regulations, 2012. We help you pick the right vehicle — trust, LLP, or company — and the right category for your strategy.
Set up the fund vehicle and appoint the manager
The fund is constituted with its trustees or directors, and a sponsor and investment manager are appointed. Key personnel must meet SEBI's fit-and-proper and experience expectations.
Draft the placement memorandum
We prepare the PPM covering investment strategy, corpus, tenure, fees, risk factors, and disclosures. SEBI reviews this document closely, so it must be complete and consistent.
File the registration application with SEBI
The application for AIF registration is filed with SEBI in the prescribed format with the PPM, constitutional documents, and sponsor and manager particulars.
Handle SEBI's queries
SEBI examines the strategy, team credentials, and disclosures, and typically raises queries before granting registration. We draft precise responses to keep the process on track.
Receive the certificate of registration
On satisfaction, SEBI grants the certificate of registration as an Alternative Investment Fund. The process typically takes a few months for a clean, complete application.
Launch the scheme and stay compliant
After registration, the fund files its scheme documents, raises commitments, and begins investing — while meeting SEBI's ongoing norms on reporting, valuation, leverage, and investor disclosures.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India

Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation

- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early
