The RBI has said that a single entity’s contribution to any AIF scheme must be capped at 10% of its corpus and collectively a ceiling of 15% must be applied for investment by all entities in an AIF scheme.
Investments by a regulated entity up to 5% of the corpus of an AIF scheme will be allowed without any restriction, but if the investment surpasses 5% and has a downstream debt investment in a debtor company of the entity, then it will be required to make 100% provisions to the extent of its proportionate exposure.
