MUMBAI: Market regulator Sebi has started inspecting the books of the troubled JPMorgan Mutual Fund and is also looking into its processes to see what went wrong with two of the fund house's schemes - JPMorgan India Treasury Fund and JPMorgan India Short Term Income Fund.

Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), on Thursday proposed to ease norms for infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) as a way to encourage firms to unlock capital.

However, infrastructure companies have been slow to respond as they sought a relaxation in rules and clarity on taxation.
