The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has cancelled the registration of Fidelity Mutual Fund after L&T Finance bought out the fund.

The decision was taken at the request of FIL Fund Management, the asset management company (AMC) of Fidelity Mutual Fund, SEBI said in a release.

''Pursuant to the acquisition of Fidelity Mutual Fund by L&T Mutual Fund and at the request of FIL Fund Management Pvt Ltd, the AMC to Fidelity Mutual Fund, SEBI has cancelled the certificate of registration of Fidelity Mutual Fund and has withdrawn the approval granted to FIL Fund Management Pvt Ltd to act as the asset management company,'' SEBI stated in its release.
