SEBI has announced the operationalisation of the Past Risk and Return Verification Agency (PaRRVA), which will begin providing services on a regular basis from May 4, 2026. CARE Ratings Limited was granted recognition as PaRRVA, with National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) acting as the PaRRVA Data Centre (PDC). The pilot phase was launched on December 8, 2025, and has now been completed.

Key Points

  • CARE Ratings Limited is the recognised PaRRVA entity
  • NSE acts as the PaRRVA Data Centre (PDC)
  • SEBI granted recognition under a framework specified on April 4, 2025
  • Pilot phase ran from December 8, 2025 and has been completed
  • Regular services commence from May 4, 2026
  • PaRRVA covers verified performance for investment advisory, research services, and algorithmic trading
  • Regulated entities may use PaRRVA-verified performance in advertisements, subject to applicable regulatory provisions

Regulatory Changes

PaRRVA transitions from pilot phase to full regular operations. Regulated persons — including investment advisors, research analysts, and algorithmic trading service providers — can now officially utilise PaRRVA-verified performance data in their promotional and advertising materials in accordance with SEBI’s regulatory provisions.

Compliance Requirements

  • Regulated entities wishing to advertise verified performance must obtain verification through PaRRVA
  • Use of PaRRVA-verified performance in advertisements must comply with applicable SEBI regulatory provisions
  • No mandatory compliance action is required; participation is available to eligible regulated entities

Important Dates

  • April 4, 2025: SEBI framework for PaRRVA specified; CARE Ratings granted recognition
  • December 8, 2025: Pilot phase of PaRRVA launched
  • April 29, 2026: SEBI press release issued announcing operationalisation
  • May 4, 2026: PaRRVA begins regular service operations

Impact Assessment

The operationalisation of PaRRVA is a positive development for market transparency and investor protection. Investment advisors, research analysts, and algorithmic trading firms will be able to substantiate their performance claims with third-party verified data, reducing the risk of misleading advertisements. Investors gain access to credible, verified performance records, enabling more informed decision-making. The impact is sector-wide for regulated intermediaries but does not directly affect stock prices or trading operations.
