Register of schemes

Section 63: Duty of Regulator to issue scheme return notices

226.This section requires the Regulator to issue scheme return notices (a request for information) to each registrable scheme. The first request for a scheme return must be made within three years of the Regulator becoming aware that the scheme has become a registrable scheme. Existing schemes will become registrable schemes when this section comes into force, but transitional provision will be made under section 322(5) in relation to such schemes when the provisions about the register come into force. The Regulator must issue subsequent scheme return notices to schemes every one to three years from the date of the schemes last return notice depending on the scheme.
