Such investments have been regulated under the norms and regulations of SEBI 2014 regulations for Foreign Portfolio Investors. These investments are in securities like government bonds, stocks, corporate bonds, infrastructure securities, convertible securities.
There are three categories decided by SEBI under which any investor can get himself registered:
Category 1: In this category, all the foreign investors who are related to central banks of other countries, sovereign wealth funds, or government agencies are included.
Category 2: This category includes investors from regulated organisations like Asset Management Companies, Banks, etc. It also includes managers who maintain the banks, portfolios, pension funds, or any other such funds.
Category 3: This category includes all the foreign investors who do not belong to either category 1 or 2.

Once the certificate for registration has been granted, under the board’s regulations, it will remain permanently valid for a lifetime. The certificate only loses its validity if the applicant’s license is cancelled by the board due to any non-compliance or the investor itself asks for the suspension of the license.
