New Delhi: To improve ease of doing business, markets regulator today launched an online registration mechanism for mutual funds. The move would help in making it easier for the existing
and new fund houses to complete their registration with Sebi much faster and in a cost-effective way.

submit the mutual funds registration applications online.
