A Collective Investment Scheme (CIS), as its name suggests, is an investment scheme wherein several individuals come together to pool their money for investing in a particular asset(s) and for sharing the returns arising from that investment as per the agreement reached between them prior to pooling in the money. The term has broader connotations and includes even mutual funds. For instance, in UK, the unit trust scheme is a collective investment scheme. However, in India, as in US, the definition of CIS excludes mutual funds or unit trust schemes etc and is given a strict definition in Section 11AA of the SEBI Act, 1992. CISs are regulated by the securities market regulator - SEBI - under SEBI (Collective Investment Scheme) Regulations, 1999. The following do not constitute a collective investment scheme: any scheme or arrangement made or offered by a co-operative society or a society being a society registered or deemed to be registered under any law relating to co-operative societies for the time being in force in any State. any scheme or arrangement under which deposits are accepted by non-banking financial companies any scheme or arrangement being a contract of insurance to which the Insurance Act, applies any scheme or arrangement falling within the meaning of Chit business as defined in clause (d) of section 2of the Chit Fund Act, 1982 (40 of 1982)
