PMS Bazaar, India's leading alternative investments platform, has announced a strategic partnership with NSDL Database Management Ltd to facilitate the SEBI Accredited Investor certification process for eligible investors and entities. According to reports from The Hindu BusinessLine, this collaboration aims to make Accredited Investor certification simpler, faster, and more accessible through end-to-end assistance. The partnership was announced on August 12, 2026, during the PMS Bazaar Bengaluru Conclave, where several participants successfully applied for and received their Accredited Investor Certificates within a few hours on the same day, demonstrating the efficiency of the overall process.
Under SEBI's Accredited Investor framework, eligible investors may benefit from lower minimum investment thresholds across Portfolio Management Services (PMS), Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), and other alternative investment products. As reported by The Hindu BusinessLine, this framework also provides access to sophisticated investment opportunities and related regulatory flexibilities available to Accredited Investors. Upon receiving all required documents, PMS Bazaar initiates the application immediately, with certificates typically issued by the NDML Accreditation Agency on a T+1 basis, subject to proper documentation and payment completion. The partnership is designed to broaden investor participation and improve access to sophisticated investment opportunities for eligible investors.
R Pallavarajan, Founder & Director of PMS Bazaar, stated that the collaboration with the NDML Accreditation Agency strengthens their role in India's alternative investment ecosystem by making Accredited Investor certification simple and efficient. According to The Hindu BusinessLine, he emphasized that as alternative investments continue to evolve, Accredited Investor certification will play an increasingly important role in broadening investor access while supporting the growth of a well-informed investor community in India. Rajesh Kumar S, Head of Business at NSDL Database Management Limited (NDML), explained that this collaboration is designed to guide both investors and investment providers by offering smoother experience for getting Accredited through advanced digital and processing capabilities, all under strict regulatory compliance frameworks.
Beyond individual investors, PMS Bazaar also assists Asset Managers, Wealth Managers, Family Offices, and Distributors in facilitating Accredited Investor certification for their eligible clients through the NDML Accreditation Agency. Investors receive complete handholding throughout the certification journey without any additional platform, service, or processing fee, paying only the applicable fees prescribed for the certification process. As India's alternative investment ecosystem continues to evolve, PMS Bazaar believes wider adoption of the Accredited Investor framework will broaden investor participation and improve access to sophisticated investment opportunities for eligible investors.
