The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) sent a letter to the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) pointing out 23 irregularities committed by mutual funds in FY 16-17. These lapses were detected as part of a routine inspection.
Key issues pointed out by SEBI included providing incorrect data on investor complaints in the annual report/MF website, failure to liquidate the equity portfolio in close ended schemes on maturity and highlighting the performance of only select schemes to the AMC Board and Trustees.
