PMS Bazaar, India's leading alternative investments platform, has announced a collaboration with NSDL Database Management Limited (NDML), an Accreditation Agency, to facilitate the SEBI Accredited Investor certification process for eligible investors and entities.

The SEBI Accredited Investor framework is designed to provide eligible investors with greater access to sophisticated investment products and certain regulatory flexibilities. Accredited Investors may also benefit from lower minimum investment thresholds across Portfolio Management Services (PMS), Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), and other alternative investment products, enabling them to participate in investment opportunities that may otherwise have higher entry requirements.
PMS Bazaar said the wider adoption of the Accredited Investor framework could help broaden participation in India's growing alternative investment market.
By simplifying the certification process, the company aims to help more eligible investors understand and access opportunities available under the framework while supporting the industry's shift toward more sophisticated investment avenues.
The initiative will also extend beyond individual investors. PMS Bazaar will assist asset managers, wealth managers, family offices, and distributors in facilitating Accredited Investor certification for their eligible clients through the NDML Accreditation Agency. This is expected to provide financial intermediaries with additional support in helping qualified clients complete the certification process.
As part of the collaboration, investors will receive end-to-end handholding throughout their certification journey. PMS Bazaar stated that there will be no additional platform, service, or processing fee charged by the company for the assistance. Investors will only be required to pay the applicable fees prescribed for the Accredited Investor certification process.
