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.

- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing
- Allow time for apostilled or consularised documents
