<p >Many friends have shown interest in becoming SEBI-registered investment advisors (RIAs), offering unbiased advice to clients and earning a decent income from it. Several DIY investors are keen on helping others manage their finances. For them, it can be a second career.</p>
<p><strong>About the author:</strong> Melvin Joseph is one of the first RIAs in the country. He has a large client base of middle-class Indians and has been providing unbiased advice in the country for the last 16 years. He now wants to create more fee-only SEBI-registered investment advisors, as there is a huge scarcity of unbiased advisors in the country.</p>

<p >The good news is that SEBI relaxed the eligibility criteria again. Now, graduates in <strong>any</strong> subject are eligible to apply for RIA.</p>
<p >If you are a graduate, you can apply for an RIA license, even if you don’t have any work experience. You have to pass NISM XA and XB examinations to get the RIA license.</p>
<p >I have been practising as a Financial Planner since 2010. Now, I am not taking new clients. I am on a mission to create more fee-only financial planners.</p>
<p >My interview on the Labour Law Advisor YouTube channel talks about my journey and future plans to create more RIAs.</p>
<p></p>
<p >I am arranging a webinar for RIA aspirants on 7<sup>th</sup> February 2026, at 6 pm.  If you are serious about becoming an RIA, it will provide you with essential information and insight.</p>
<p >I will guide you on obtaining the RIA license, setting up an advisory practice, etc.</p>
<p >The webinar is organised by <a href="https://vaxel.in/">Vaxel Academy</a>. There will be a registration fee of 1000/-to ensure only serious people register.</p>
