SEBI New Rules Mutual Fund: For investors investing in mutual funds through demat account, it may soon become easier than before to withdraw and transfer money. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is working on a new system to simplify this process, so that investors do not need to give repeated instructions.

In the consultation paper released on 5 February 2026, SEBI has talked about starting automated standing instructions. It has also been said to reduce the difference between Demat and Statement of Account (SOA) modes.

Due to which facilities like Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) and Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) will be able to run automatically without manual requirements. Currently, demat holders have to submit a new request every time they want to withdraw money or transfer funds.

Which investors will get the most benefits

If SEBI decides to implement this new system, then it will directly benefit those people who earn regular income from mutual funds. Especially retired people, investors dependent on systematic withdrawal plans and people investing for a long time will feel relieved by this.

Now there will be no need to fill the form again and again or make a separate request to withdraw the amount every month or at fixed period. Due to the automatic system, the money will automatically come into the account at the scheduled time. This will reduce the hassles of investors and the process will become easier.

Facility will be available without power of attorney

Now many investors give power of attorney to the broker for convenience. Due to which direct control over their investments is reduced. SEBI wants that the standing instructions should be directly in the depository system, so that the investor remains in control of his money.

Also, by simplifying this process, this work is expected to be done easily. SEBI believes that with this step investors will have more control over their money. However, no date has been fixed yet for its implementation.
