What this is
Follow a regulator.
Never miss what it publishes.
Indian government bodies publish to their own websites, on their own schedule, in their own formats, and tell nobody. FirstBrief watches them and puts what lands in front of the people it lands on — with the official document linked on every record, because that document is the one that counts.
Follow a body
Pick the regulators you answer to, and the departments inside them — payments, not foreign exchange. Or follow a sector and take whoever publishes into it.
Read what lands
Every circular, notification and order, newest first, with a summary, any deadline in it, and a reading of how much it matters. What is new to you is marked as new.
See what it changes
A circular rarely stands alone. Each one shows what it supersedes, continues or names, and the storyline it belongs to, so you read the current position rather than one instalment of it.
That is the whole archive, and it is small. Everything on this page came from 12 bodies — all we have connected so far. More are being added, and until one is, we say so rather than implying coverage we do not have. A circular's absence from here has never meant it was not published.
Create a free accountWhat it costsFive circulars a month in full, at no cost. Every regulator page, sector page and storyline is open to everyone.
The corpus
Every circular, notification and order we have ingested, newest first. Each record links straight back to the official document it came from.

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) can now submit a digitally signed Power of Attorney (PoA) document to their designated depository participants. This is an alternative to submitting a physical, wet-inked copy. The digital PoA must be signed using a valid digital signature certificate issued by a Certifying Authority licensed under India's Information Technology Act, 2000. This change applies to all FPIs and the depository participants that serve them. It provides a new digital option but does not mandate a new action or set a deadline for compliance.
