SEBI's New Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trusts

Relaxation for Employee Benefit Trusts, Aligned Distribution Timelines, and Standardized Reporting for REITs

We at OnFinance AI are excited to share the latest developments in the real estate investment trust (REIT) compliance landscape. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a new circular (SEBI/HO/DDHS/DDHS-PoD-2/P/CIR/2024/158) that introduces several important changes.
As your trusted compliance AI partner, we are here to help you navigate these updates seamlessly.

The key highlights of this circular include:

  1. Relaxation from Certain Provisions for Units Allotted to Employee Benefit Trusts

    • The circular provides exemptions to the lock-in and allotment restrictions for units issued to employee benefit trusts under unit-based employee benefit (UBEB) schemes.

    • This will promote ease of doing business and facilitate the acquisition of units by employee trusts for the benefit of employees.

  2. Alignment of Timelines for Making Distributions by REITs

    • The circular aligns the timelines for making distributions by REITs with the recent amendments to the REIT Regulations.

    • This ensures uniformity and clarity in the distribution process for REITs.

  3. Standardized Format for Quarterly Reports and Compliance Certificates

    • The circular mandates the use of a standardized format for quarterly reports and compliance certificates submitted by REIT managers to trustees.

    • This will enhance transparency and streamline reporting across the REIT industry.
