The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) gave the non-banking financial services behemoth Bajaj Finserv permission to launch its mutual fund operations.

The company also disclosed the formation of two fully owned subsidiaries, dubbed Bajaj Finserv Mutual Fund and Bajaj Finserv Asset Management, in a regulatory filing with the markets.

Bajaj Finserv Mutual Fund received the mutual fund licence from Sebi. Moreover, Bajaj Finserv Asset Management has been given permission to serve as the asset management firm.

The new AMC will provide a variety of products, including equities, debt, hybrid mutual funds, active and passive funds, and more.

The approval from SEBI, according to Sanjiv Bajaj, chairman and managing director of Bajaj Finserv, is crucial for the business from a strategic standpoint.

Via its operations, the corporation offers over 100 million consumers a variety of financial options, including savings, funding, protection, and asset building.

According to the RBI's 2016 Core Investment Rules, Bajaj Finserv Ltd is a non-registered Core Investment Company (CIC).
