In April 2020, amid the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian government introduced Press Note 3 (“PN3”) through the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (“DPIIT”). The policy was a considered response to a specific and legitimate concern: that investors from land-border countries, China in particular, might exploit the economic distress of the pandemic to acquire stakes in Indian companies at depressed valuations. India was not alone in this assessment. Australia, France, Canada introduced comparable investment screening measures around the same time.

Order In The Markets: SEBI’s Regulatory Reset Of Early 2026
Between January and April 2026, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) pushed through a dense cluster of circulars and regulatory amendments – touching everything from merchant banker registration to the way retail investors receive an abridged prospectus.

While they may initially appear as debt, their eventual conversion into equity means they can significantly reshape ownership, control, and valuation. This dual nature makes CCDs one of the most critical instruments to diligence. In private equity and venture capital transactions, CCDs are widely used for their flexibility in structuring valuation and aligning with foreign investment regulations.

Proposed section 57A introduces, for the first time, a statutory mechanism to convert a “specified trust” into an LLP under the LLP Act, 2008.
