SEBI Revises Securities Transmission Rules to Simplify Process for Legal Heirs
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a new framework to simplify and expedite the transmission of securities following an investor's death. Key measures include the Quick Transmission Processing (QTP) category for small-value claims up to Rs 10,000 for physical and Rs 30,000 for dematerialised holdings, and doubling the limits for simplified documentation to Rs 10 lakh and Rs 30 lakh respectively. SEBI has also removed the PAN submission requirement and the mandatory probate of will, allowing combined affidavits and expanded document acceptance to ease the process for legal heirs.
