The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has fixed September 30 as the last date for adding a nominee to a demat account. If you do not complete the demat account registration within this stipulated period, then you may have to face big problems later. SEBI will freeze such accounts. In such a situation, you will not be able to buy or sell shares.
The deadline has been extended several times
Markets regulator SEBI has already extended the deadline for completing nomination in demat account several times. Earlier, the deadline for completing this work was ending on March 31, 2023, but on March 27, SEBI had extended this deadline by issuing a notification. For this, SEBI has given additional time of 6 months to the investors. In such a situation, if you have not completed this work yet, then do it as soon as possible.
