Beginning June 1, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has implemented new cut-off timings for transactions in overnight mutual fund schemes, aiming to enhance fund management efficiency and bring greater transparency to the investment process. According to the updated rules, transactions submitted offline will now need to be completed by 3 PM, while those made online have a later deadline of 7 PM. This shift is intended to give investors more clarity on how their orders are processed and to reduce discrepancies in order execution timing. SEBI’s move follows increasing demand for better operational discipline in the mutual fund space, especially in segments like overnight funds where timing is critical. Fund houses and registrars are now expected to align their internal systems to the new schedule to ensure smooth compliance. This step is also part of a broader push by the regulator to strengthen retail investor trust by making fund operations more predictable and tightly regulated.
