SEBI’s Prohibition of Insider Trading (PIT) Regulations 2015 apply to mutual funds, restricting AMC employees from trading in MF units (or related equity securities) based on non-public material information about scheme holdings, operational changes, or other material events. The framework adapts the broader PIT regime (originally designed for listed companies) to the mutual fund context.

For Indian retail investors, the framework provides assurance that AMC employees with privileged information cannot exploit it to the detriment of fellow unit holders.
