class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The demat account nomination rules 2026 represent a significant update to India&#8217;s investor protection framework. SEBI&#8217;s May 2026 circular expanded the earlier rules in three key ways: the number of nominees per demat account increased to three (from the earlier single-nominee framework), each nominee must be allocated a specific percentage of the holding, and investors who do not wish to nominate anyone must submit a formal opt-out declaration.<\/p>\n<p>Before the demat account nomination rules 2026, many investors left their nomination blank without realising that this created complications for their families in case of their death. The new the updated nomination rules close this gap by requiring an explicit action either way, ensuring no account is left in an undefined state.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Nominees_Are_Allowed_Under_the_Demat_Account_Nomination_Rules_2026\"><\/span><strong>How Many Nominees Are Allowed Under the Demat Account Nomination Rules 2026?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The demat account nomination rules 2026 allow up to three nominees per account. Each nominee must be assigned a specific percentage of the holdings, and the total across all nominees must equal 100%. If only one nominee is named, they receive 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Nominee details required under the demat account nomination rules 2026 include the full name, address, relationship to the account holder, date of birth (if the nominee is a minor) and the percentage allocation. When a nominee is a minor, a guardian must also be named.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background: #1F4E79; color: #fff;\">\n<th>Detail required<\/th>\n<th>Single nominee<\/th>\n<th>Multiple nominees (up to 3)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Number of nominees<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Up to 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Percentage allocation<\/td>\n<td>100%<\/td>\n<td>Allocated individually, must total 100%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Minor nominee allowed?<\/td>\n<td>Yes (guardian required)<\/td>\n<td>Yes (guardian required for each minor nominee)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Opt-out declaration required?<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No nomination opt-out<\/td>\n<td>Yes, explicit declaration required<\/td>\n<td>N\/A \u2014 at least one nominee named<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opt-Out_Declaration_Under_the_the_updated_nomination_rules\"><\/span><strong>Opt-Out Declaration Under the the updated nomination rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most significant additions to the demat account nomination rules 2026 is the mandatory opt-out process. Investors who choose not to nominate anyone must submit a signed declaration confirming that they are opting out of nomination. This declaration can be submitted online through the DP portal or offline via a physical form.<\/p>\n<p>Without submitting the opt-out declaration, a demat account with no nominee may face access restrictions. The the updated nomination rules make this step mandatory to prevent ambiguity, particularly for investors who originally opened accounts before the new framework came into effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Use the Univest Stock Screener to Find Quality Stocks<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Update_Nomination_Under_the_the_updated_nomination_rules\"><\/span><strong>How to Update Nomination Under the the updated nomination rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To update or add a nominee under the the updated nomination rules, log in to your depository participant&#8217;s online portal (for example, CDSL Easi or your broker&#8217;s app).

In a joint demat account, when one account holder passes away, the surviving holder automatically takes over the account. Nomination applies to the residual balance after the last surviving holder&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p>Under the the updated nomination rules, joint account holders can still add up to three nominees. The nominee&#8217;s claim arises only after all joint holders have died. Joint account holders who have not yet updated their nomination under the new rules should do so through their DP portal to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Univest_Handles_Nomination_Under_the_Updated_Rules\"><\/span><strong>How Univest Handles Nomination Under the Updated Rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Univest is a SEBI-registered platform (SEBI RA Reg.
