Fintech Sandbox Entities
Revocations
FinTech and TechFin authorisation and regulatory sandbox
About this entity type
A very brief overview
IFSCA operates a FinTech framework under which an entity can obtain direct FinTech/TechFin authorisation, or enter the regulatory sandbox to test an innovative financial product in a live but controlled environment with relaxed requirements for a limited cohort period. Grants and cross-border sandbox access (Inter-Operable Regulatory Sandbox) are available to eligible applicants.
Who it suits: Early-stage and growth fintechs, techfin providers to financial institutions, and foreign fintechs testing an India-facing or global product.
Applicable regulation
IFSCA (FinTech Incentive) Scheme and FinTech Entity Framework
Eligibility for FinTech/TechFin authorisation, sandbox cohorts, sandbox exit conditions and incentive grants.

Timeline & approach
How we take Revocations from plan to authorisation
Step 1
Eligibility & structure
We map your activity to the right IFSCA category and sub-category, confirm net worth, KMP and shareholding eligibility, and fix the holding structure.
Step 2
SEZ unit approval
Unit application to the Development Commissioner, Letter of Approval, office space lease and NDC/customs registrations.
Step 3
IFSCA application
Application, business plan, policies (AML/CFT, risk, outsourcing, cyber), KMP profiles and query resolution until in-principle approval.
Step 4
Go-live & compliance calendar
Bank account, systems, statutory registrations, commencement intimation and handover to a live obligation calendar in your Gateway portal.
Scope & commercials
Confirmed in writing after a scope review
We read your structure, activity and regulatory route first, then set out the scope and engagement terms in writing.
