Nomination is an important aspect of managing your account in your absence, whether it's your bank account, trading account or Demat account.
Why should you add a Nominee?
A nominee is the person or person(s) you legally appoint to own your shares in your absence.
- 🔸 Adding a nominee can provide peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of in case of an unfortunate event
- 🔸 It can help avoid potential disputes among your heirs about who should inherit your assets
- 🔸 Saves your loved ones from having to go through tedious paperwork to access your assets in case of your death
