RBI Launches 2025-26 Survey on Mutual Funds
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has officially launched the 2025-26 round of its annual survey focusing on the 'Foreign Liabilities and Assets of Mutual Funds.' This survey is crucial as it collects comprehensive information related to the external financial liabilities and assets of mutual funds as of the end of March 2026.
In conducting this survey, the RBI aims to capture detailed data that reflects the financial stability and external exposure of mutual funds in India. The aggregated results from this survey are made publicly available and are instrumental in compiling India’s external sector statistics.
Mutual funds are mandated to complete the survey schedule to ensure accurate data collection. The findings will provide valuable insights into the international engagements of Indian mutual funds and assist in fiscal policy-making.
For legal practitioners, understanding the implications of this survey is essential, especially in advising clients involved in mutual fund operations regarding compliance and strategic planning for foreign investments.
