Under the new demat account nomination rules 2026, all new single accounts must either nominate up to three nominees (with percentage allocation) or submit an explicit opt-out declaration before the account is activated. Existing single account holders who have not yet nominated or opted out must comply with the updated demat account nomination rules 2026 by following their DP&#8217;s prescribed

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The demat account nomination rules 2026 introduced a major shift for single account holders: default nomination. For new single demat accounts opened after May 29, 2026, the account cannot be activated without either a valid nomination or a signed opt-out declaration. This makes the the updated nomination rules more prescriptive than the earlier framework, where leaving the nomination blank was simply treated as no nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Existing single account holders who opened accounts before the demat account nomination rules 2026 came into effect must also comply. SEBI&#8217;s circular directs DPs to reach out to existing holders who have not nominated anyone and have not submitted an opt-out, and to obtain the required action. The the updated nomination rules apply to all SEBI-regulated demat accounts regardless of the date of opening.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Three_Paths_for_Single_Account_Holders_Under_the_the_updated_rules\"><\/span><strong>The Three Paths for Single Account Holders Under the the updated rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Under the demat account nomination rules 2026, a single account holder has exactly three options.<\/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>Option<\/th>\n<th>What you do<\/th>\n<th>What happens<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Nominate one person<\/td>\n<td>Provide name, address, relationship and allocate 100%<\/td>\n<td>That person receives the holdings on transmission after death<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nominate up to three people<\/td>\n<td>Provide details for each; percentage allocations must total 100%<\/td>\n<td>Holdings are distributed to nominees in the stated proportions on transmission<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Opt-out of nomination<\/td>\n<td>Submit a signed opt-out declaration (online or offline)<\/td>\n<td>Account is activated\/remains active with no nominee; legal heir route applies on death<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Opt-Out_Declaration_Under_the_the_updated_nomination_rules\"><\/span><strong>What Is the Opt-Out Declaration Under the the updated nomination rules?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The opt-out declaration under the demat account nomination rules 2026 is a formal signed statement confirming that the account holder is choosing not to add a nominee. This declaration must be submitted through the DP&#8217;s online portal (via OTP or e-sign authentication) or as a physical form at the DP branch.<\/p>\n<p>Without a valid opt-out declaration under the demat account nomination rules 2026, a new single account cannot be activated. For existing single accounts, failing to respond to the DP&#8217;s notification may result in operational restrictions on the account. SEBI&#8217;s intent behind the the updated nomination rules is to ensure no account remains in an undefined state regarding succession.<\/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=\"Online_Nomination_Process_Under_the_the_updated_nomination_rules\"><\/span><strong>Online Nomination Process Under the the updated nomination rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Under the the updated rules, the online nomination process is the preferred and most efficient route for most investors. Log in to your DP&#8217;s official portal (such as NSDL CAS for NSDL accounts or CDSL Easi for CDSL accounts), navigate to the nomination section and provide the required details for each nominee.<\/p>\n<p>The online nomination under the the updated rules requires OTP authentication on your registered mobile number to confirm the instruction. For joint accounts, all holders must provide their consent before the nomination instruction is accepted. Once submitted, your DP will process the nomination update and confirm by email or SMS.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_the_updated_nomination_rules_Treat_Multiple_Nominees\"><\/span><strong>How the the updated nomination rules Treat Multiple Nominees<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most investor-friendly aspects of the the updated rules is the expansion from a single nominee to up to three nominees. Each nominee must be given a specific percentage of the holdings (for example, 50% to one and 25% each to two others). The total must add up to exactly 100%.<\/p>\n<p>When a minor is named as a nominee under the the updated rules, a guardian must also be named along with the minor&#8217;s date of birth. The guardian manages the minor nominee&#8217;s share during the minor&#8217;s minority. This guardian requirement under the the updated nomination rules protects minor nominees who cannot independently manage financial assets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Univest_and_the_the_updated_nomination_rules\"><\/span><strong>Univest and the the updated nomination rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Univest is a SEBI-registered platform (SEBI RA Reg.

To add, update or submit an opt-out declaration under the the updated nomination rules, contact Univest support at univest.in or access the NSDL portal using your account credentials.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure your nomination is completed or your opt-out submitted to stay compliant with the the updated rules. Univest&#8217;s support team can guide you through the current process.
