Invesco SIPs Resume: Is Your Global Fund Still Blocked?

Invesco Mutual Fund is restarting existing SIPs in 3 international funds from August 18. But if you don't already have a running SIP, you still cannot start a new one — SEBI's overseas investment cap remains in force.

Here's what happened: Invesco Mutual Fund will resume existing SIPs and STPs in 3 international fund-of-funds from August 18, 2025, for investors who already had active mandates.. New SIP registrations and fresh lump sum purchases in these international schemes remain suspended because the industry-wide overseas mutual fund investment ceiling set by SEBI is still fully exhausted.. This partial reopening is limited to Invesco — other AMCs managing international funds are still evaluating their own headroom within the same regulatory cap..

What you should do: Log in to your Invesco AMC account or your broker app before August 18 and confirm your existing international SIP mandate is marked active — paused mandates may not restart automatically.. Check whether your SIP instalment date falls after August 18; if it falls before, your next deduction will be the first one after the resumption date, not a backdated catch-up.. If you want new international exposure right now, compare domestically-listed ETFs tracking Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500 on NSE/BSE — these operate under a separate per-fund limit and are currently open for fresh investment..

Pro tip: When a mutual fund pauses and resumes SIPs, the units you missed buying during the freeze are gone — you don't get backdated purchases. Your rupee-cost averaging resets from the resumption date, so review your goal timeline accordingly.
