FIIs have been permitted to invest in unlisted securities.
But the FPI regulations say that FPIs are allowed to invest only in listed or to-be-listed entities.
Isn't this contradiction ?
Why this question when FII has been done away with?
You are correct FPI's are not allowed to invest in unlisted companies; anyone looking for clarification:
