SEBI and AMFI Simplify Mutual Fund Transmission Process for Nominees and Heirs
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) have introduced simplified rules for the transmission of mutual fund units after an investor's death. These changes address operational challenges such as address, name, and signature mismatches by allowing asset management companies to rely on updated, valid documents. The process now aims to be completed within five to fifteen working days, easing claims for nominees, surviving joint holders, and legal heirs.
