Regulatory Changes

No new regulatory changes introduced. This circular postpones a previously announced system update related to FATCA/CRS compliance documentation.

Compliance Requirements

No immediate compliance action required from members. Members should await further notice regarding the revised implementation date for the updated FATCA/CRS document ID types on BSE StAR MF platform.

Important Dates

  • October 3, 2025: Original notice issued (Notice No. 20251003-52)
  • October 7, 2025: Originally scheduled go-live date (now postponed)
  • TBA: Revised go-live date (to be communicated via separate notice)

Impact Assessment

The postponement has minimal market impact as it relates to an administrative system update for FATCA/CRS documentation processing. The delay does not affect current mutual fund trading operations or existing FATCA/CRS compliance processes. Members can continue with existing procedures until the revised implementation date is announced. This is a routine operational update affecting back-office systems rather than trading activities.

Impact Justification

Administrative postponement of a system update with no immediate operational impact; new go-live date to be communicated later
