Domus Capital and India Electronic Development Fund’s Registration Cancelled by SEBI for Failing To File Reports
Moneylife Digital Team 18 May 2026
Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has initiated summary proceedings against two alternative investment funds (AIFs), Domus Capital LLP and India Electronic Development Fund (IEDF), for failing to file mandatory quarterly activity reports (QARs) for four consecutive quarters in 2025.
 
In two separate orders issued under Section 12(3) of the SEBI Act read with Regulation 30A of the SEBI (Intermediaries) Regulations, 2008, the market regulator noted that both entities failed to submit QARs for the quarters ending March, June, September and December 2025.
 
SEBI stated that all registered AIFs are required to file periodic reports on their activities through recognised industry association platforms and the SEBI intermediary portal within 15 calendar days from the end of every quarter. The reporting framework forms part of the regulator’s monitoring and compliance mechanism for the fast-growing AIF industry.
 
According to the order against Domus Capital, the fund responded to SEBI’s show-cause notice (SCN) by stating that it had not raised any funds since inception and, therefore, had not filed the quarterly reports. The entity also submitted a chartered accountant’s certificate showing nil balances for the relevant quarters.
 
A similar regulatory action was initiated against IEDF for the same reporting lapses.
 
Failure to comply with mandatory filing requirements can invite cancellation of registration under the SEBI Act. While the present proceedings were initiated under the summary procedure route, the orders underline SEBI’s intent to enforce even routine compliance obligations strictly across regulated entities.
