Under the provisions of the Regulations, an existing Collective Investment Scheme which has failed to make an application or is not desirous of obtaining registration has to compulsorily wind up the scheme(s) and make payment to the investors.
Upto March 31, 2000, SEBI has received applications for grant of certificate of registration from 35 existing entities. Besides, 2 entities who had earlier not filed information with SEBI have applied for registration.
