Source-supported facts
SEBI’s 30 July 2026 circular describes GARUDA, a green-channel mechanism for processing AIF placement memoranda.
TLGS assessment

Practical next steps
- Read the circular’s eligibility and processing conditions.
- Prepare a gap analysis between the proposed fund documentation and the applicable framework.
Status & scope
No assured processing time, automatic approval or unconditional eligibility is claimed.
