The definition of associate shall not apply to sponsors who invest in different companies on behalf of insurance policyholders.

Under the rules, an associate includes a person who directly or indirectly exercises control over an asset management company or trustee.

SEBI's board of directors in its meeting held last month has approved the proposal to change the rules.

At present, there are 43 such mutual fund companies, which manage assets worth around Rs 38 lakh crore.
