The circular replaced the prior era of fund-house-specific category naming with a single industry-wide taxonomy of 36 standardised categories grouped under five broad classifications (equity, debt, hybrid, solution-oriented, and other). The circular was issued by <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/sebi/">SEBI</a> under <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/sebi-mutual-fund-regulations-1996/">SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations 1996</a> and implemented during 2018 through scheme mergers and reclassifications.</p>
