The updated framework, aimed at improving ease of doing business, reducing operational risks, and enhancing transparency, introduces several key changes to how Angel Funds operate under the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) Regulations, 2012<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3>What are Angel Funds<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Angel Funds are regulated investment vehicles that pool capital from accredited investors to support early-stage businesses. They were introduced to channel early-stage capital into innovative ventures. An Angel Fund is a <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Category I Alternative Investment Fund (AIF)<\/span> registered with SEBI, designed to pool capital from Accredited Investors for direct investment in early-stage businesses. These funds operate without launching separate schemes and are defined under <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Section 19-A (1)<\/span> of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SEBI AIF Regulations, 2012<\/span>, which outline specific rules on compliance, investment limits, and transparency to support startup funding and protect investors.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the key takeaways from SEBI&#8217;s Revised Norms for Angel Funds<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p>These changes were formalized through the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Securities and Exchange Board of India (Alternative Investment Funds) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2025<\/span>, notified on <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">9-9-2025<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Under the revised framework, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Angel Funds are permitted to raise capital exclusively from Accredited Investors<\/span>, as defined under Regulation 2(1)(ab) of the AIF Regulations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Newly registered funds will be required to comply immediately, while those registered before the circular have until <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">8-9-2026<\/span> to transition. During this period, they can onboard up to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">200 non-accredited investors<\/span> but cannot accept new contributions from them after the deadline.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Angel Funds will declare their <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">first close within 12 months<\/span> of SEBI&#8217;s acknowledgment of their Private Placement Memorandum (&#8216;PPM&#8217;), with a minimum of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">five accredited investors<\/span> required.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Angel Funds will invest <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">directly in startups<\/span> without launching separate schemes, to simplify the investment structure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>SEBI has <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">discontinued the requirement to file term sheets<\/span>, but Angel Funds must maintain <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">internal records<\/span> of each investment and the participating investors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies that are no longer startups are permitted, provided:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>The post-issue shareholding does not exceed the pre-issue stake.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The total investment does not exceed <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8377;25 crore<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Contributions must come from original investors, on a pro-rata basis.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>To ensure investor protection and orderly exits, SEBI has mandated a <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">lock-in period of one year<\/span> for investments made by Angel Funds. This period is reduced to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">six months<\/span> if the exit is through a third-party sale, excluding buybacks or purchases by promoters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Angel Funds are also permitted to invest in overseas companies, subject to guidelines issued by SEBI and the Reserve Bank of India. The <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">25% overseas investment limit<\/span> will now be calculated based on total investments at cost, rather than corpus.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The circular emphasizes transparency in the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">allocation of investment opportunities<\/span>. Managers will be required to disclose a clear, non-discretionary methodology in the PPM for allocating investments among consenting investors. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>From 15-10-2025, all allocations will follow this methodology. Investors retain pro-rata rights in returns, except where profit-sharing agreements such as carried interest apply.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>In a structural shift, all Angel Funds will now be recognized as a <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">distinct Category I AIF&#8212; Angel Fund<\/span>, rather than a sub-category under <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Venture Capital Funds<\/span>. Compliance obligations have also been tightened.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Funds with total investments exceeding <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8377;100 Crore<\/span> will undergo annual audits of their PPM compliance. Angel Funds are required to report investment-wise valuation and cash flow data to benchmarking agencies, and any mention of past performance must be accompanied by benchmark comparison reports.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>These changes will be applicable from the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">financial year 2025&#8212;26.<\/span> All limits and thresholds will now be calculated based on <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">total investments made at cost<\/span>, ensuring a more accurate reflection of fund activity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The Circular also clarifies that due diligence thresholds, as outlined in SEBI&#8217;s October 2024 circular, it will be calculated at the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">individual investment level<\/span>, rather than at the fund corpus level.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">Read about SEBI&#8217;s updated Angel Fund framework, mandating accredited
