Demat and mutual fund accounts won't be frozen for not filing nomination: Sebi

In a circular, the markets regulator said, based on representations received from participants, for ease of compliance and investor convenience, non-submission of 'choice of nomination' shall not result in the freezing of demat accounts as well as MF folios. In a circular dated December 27, 2023, Sebi extended the deadline for submitting "choice of nomination" for demat accounts and mutual fund folios to June 30, 2024. Accounts and folios without nomination details by this date will be frozen for debits.
