An Accredited Investor (AI) is someone who officially qualifies as a sophisticated, high-capacity investor based on net worth, income, or assets. This designation is defined and governed by SEBI (India’s securities regulator) and allows access to financial products that are usually off-limits to the broader market.
The AI certificate formalizes that status and unlocks a broader investment universe.
You can be an individual, HUF, family trust, proprietary firm, partnership firm, company, or even a fund. You just need to meet any one of SEBI’s eligibility criteria.
Individuals, HUFs and Family Trusts
Trusts other than Family Trusts
Body Corporates
(For foreign investors rupee equivalent of the same criteria)
