Can I have different nominees for different holdings in my demat account?

No. One nomination applies to the entire demat account. It covers all the securities in that account.

Does nomination apply to mutual funds and ETFs held in demat form?

Yes. If you have mutual funds or ETFs in your demat account, they are covered under the nomination.

What happens if the nominee dies before the investor?

In that case, you need to update your nominee details. Otherwise, the transmission will require a succession process involving legal heirs.

Can a nominee manage the account while the investor is alive?

The rights of nominees are activated only after the demise of an investor. However, SEBI has revised the rules, which allow operating accounts for incapacitated investors under specific conditions.

Is nomination mandatory for all demat accounts?

SEBI provides you with the option to choose a nominee for all demat accounts. However, you can choose to formally opt out of selecting a nominee.
