Fund Management
Authorised FME
Fund Management Entities, AIFs, retail schemes and PMS
About this entity type
A very brief overview
GIFT IFSC replaces the traditional fund-plus-manager licensing with a single registration for the Fund Management Entity (FME). An Authorised FME can launch venture capital schemes; a Registered FME (Non-Retail) can launch restricted (Category I/II/III style) schemes and offer portfolio management; a Registered FME (Retail) can additionally launch retail schemes and ETFs. Schemes are then filed with IFSCA under the FME's registration.
Who it suits: Domestic and offshore fund managers, family offices, PE/VC sponsors, and PMS providers pooling global capital.

Timeline & approach
How we take Authorised FME 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.
