SEBI has extended the timeline to comply with the nomination guidelines by 6 more months i.e. from January 01, 2024 to June 30, 2024.
With this, mutual funds will have to compulsorily take a declaration from investors if they opt for nomination by filing it with the MF application form or skip it. Mutual funds can also take the declaration online by using e-Sign or OTP facility.
SEBI clarified that all existing folios without nomination will have to opt for nomination or opt out of nomination by June 30, 2024.
Non-compliant folios will be frozen for investment and redemption, clarified SEBI.
