File nomination for MFs, demat this way

The last month of the year 2023 has started. This month is very important from the point of view of many financial matters. You have to complete many important tasks before 31st December. If you have a demat or mutual fund account then the deadline for filing nomination is 31st December 2023. If you have not updated the nominee yet, do it immediately. According to market regulator SEBI, if you do not do this then your account will be frozen. That means after this, you will not be able to do any kind of investment or transaction.

SEBI has extended the deadline for updating nominees for mutual fund and demat account holders to 31 December 2023, which was earlier 30 September 2023. Nomination has been made mandatory in mutual fund and demat accounts because if an account holder dies, then in such a situation the nominee can easily withdraw the amount deposited in the account by claiming it. In the absence of a nominee, all the legal heirs can claim the money and there are problems in claiming. Let us know its process.
