AMFI, in consultation with SEBI, shall prescribe the list of such domestic debt indices on a periodic basis.
c. All Gold ETFs, Silver ETFs and FoFs based on only Gold or Silver ETFs.
d. Overseas ETFs and FoFs having single underlying overseas passive fund, wherein the underlying overseas benchmarks are as permitted under clause 4 of this circular. e. All FoFs investing only in single domestic/ overseas index, wherein the reference benchmarks of underlying passive funds are as permitted under clause 3 (in case of domestic underlying indices) and clause 4 (in case of overseas underlying indices) of this circular.
