Empowering Global Fund Management at GIFT CITY under IFSCA Oversight
Gujarat International Financial-Tec City (GIFT CITY) is India's first International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), established under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005. It has been developed as a designated jurisdiction to facilitate cross-border financial services and provide a regulated platform for global investors, institutions, and businesses.
The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) is the statutory unified regulator for all financial services within GIFT CITY IFSC. Its mandate covers fund management, banking, insurance, capital markets, and other financial activities, ensuring that operations within the IFSC are aligned with international standards of regulation, transparency, and compliance.
IFSCA has introduced a series of regulations to streamline and strengthen the financial ecosystem in GIFT CITY. The IFSCA (Fund Management) Regulations, 2025, notified on February 19, 2025, provide a comprehensive framework for Fund Management Entities (FMEs), offering operational clarity and facilitating the launch of both retail and non-retail schemes. These measures reinforce GIFT CITY's position as a globally competitive financial centre.
