Q. Which organization proposed a new framework named GARUDA to speed up the launch of Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)?
Answer: Securities and Exchange Board of India
Notes: Securities and Exchange Board of India proposed “GARUDA” (Green-Channel: AIF Rollout Upon Document Acknowledgement) to speed up the launch process of Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) schemes. Under the proposal, standard AIF schemes may be launched within 10 working days instead of 30 days if no objections are raised by SEBI. Schemes for accredited investors or angel funds may use direct filing without requiring a merchant banker. The initiative aims to improve ease of doing business and accelerate capital deployment in the AIF sector.
