While SEBI does not specify a mandatory business continuity plan format for all IAs, the conduct and client protection obligations under the IA Master Circular apply regardless of whether normal operations are running.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Understanding investment adviser business continuity principles helps investors know what to expect if their advisory service experiences an outage and what recourse they have if the disruption is prolonged or affects their ability to access advisory records or support.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains investment adviser business continuity expectations based on the SEBI IA conduct framework (February 2026 Master Circular).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a

expectations are derived from the conduct obligations in SEBI&#8217;s IA Master Circular. A registered IA is expected to maintain sufficient operational resilience to fulfil its obligations to clients including delivering research recommendations, maintaining client communication, providing access to advisory records and operating the grievance redressal mechanism. A service disruption that prevents any of these obligations from being met for an extended period may constitute a breach of the client agreement terms and the IA&#8217;s regulatory conduct obligations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Client_Communication_During_Disruptions\"><\/span><strong>Client Communication During Disruptions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Investment adviser business continuity during a disruption requires proactive client communication. Clients should be informed promptly of any service disruption, the estimated duration, what service elements are affected and what alternative access or contact methods are available during the downtime. Leaving clients without communication during a service disruption is inconsistent with the transparency and client communication standards expected of registered IAs.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Disruption Scenario<\/th>\n<th>Client Communication Expected<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Platform technical outage<\/td>\n<td>Estimated restoration timeline, alternative contact<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Recommendation delivery delay<\/td>\n<td>Acknowledgement of delay, revised delivery timeline<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Grievance process disruption<\/td>\n<td>Alternative escalation pathway communicated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Extended service suspension<\/td>\n<td>Explanation, refund rights communicated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Record_Preservation_During_Disruptions\"><\/span><strong>Record Preservation During Disruptions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Investment adviser business continuity includes the obligation to preserve client records even during operational disruptions. An outage that results in the permanent loss of advisory records \u2014 recommendations delivered, risk profiles, client agreements \u2014 is a compliance breach regardless of its technical cause. Registered IAs should maintain data backup systems that preserve client records independently of the primary platform&#8217;s operational status.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Client_Rights_During_Extended_Disruptions\"><\/span><strong>Client Rights During Extended Disruptions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Investors who experience a prolonged investment adviser business continuity failure may be entitled to remedies under their client agreement including early termination rights and refund of unexpired advance fees. If the advisory service cannot be restored within a reasonable period and the IA does not proactively offer appropriate remedies, investors can file a complaint through SEBI SCORES. Current registrants of advisory platforms including Univest (SEBI RA Reg.

Clients should expect proactive communication about the nature, estimated duration and affected service elements of the disruption, an alternative contact method during downtime, confirmation that advisory records are preserved and, for prolonged disruptions, information about termination rights and refund entitlements.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_investment_advisers_required_to_have_a_formal_business_continuity_plan\"><\/span>Are investment advisers required to have a formal business continuity plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Investment adviser business continuity is relevant here. SEBI&#8217;s IA Master Circular establishes conduct and client protection obligations that imply operational resilience expectations, but does not specify a mandatory formal business continuity plan format for all IAs. The conduct obligations apply regardless \u2014 an IA that cannot fulfil its client communication, advice delivery or grievance functions due to operational failure may be in breach of its regulatory obligations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_to_advisory_records_during_an_operational_disruption\"><\/span>What happens to advisory records during an operational disruption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Investment adviser business continuity is relevant here. Registered IAs must preserve client records even during operational disruptions. Data backup systems should ensure records are available independently of the primary platform&#8217;s status. A disruption that results in permanent loss of advisory records \u2014 recommendations, risk profiles, agreements \u2014 is a compliance breach regardless of its technical cause.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_clients_terminate_their_advisory_relationship_if_service_is_disrupted_for_a_long_time\"><\/span>Can clients terminate their advisory relationship if service is disrupted for a long time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Investment adviser business continuity is relevant here. Prolonged service disruptions that prevent the advisory service from fulfilling its obligations under the client agreement may give rise to early termination rights. Whether and how termination and refund rights apply depends on the client agreement terms. Investors should review their agreement&#8217;s termination provisions and contact the IA to discuss resolution.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_clients_escalate_if_an_IA_cannot_restore_service\"><\/span>Where can clients escalate if an IA cannot restore service?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Investment adviser business continuity is relevant here.

SEBI SCORES is available at scores.sebi.gov.in for all SEBI-registered entity complaints.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_investors_receive_compensation_for_advisory_service_downtime\"><\/span>Should investors receive compensation for advisory service downtime?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Client agreement terms govern compensation for service downtime.
