There is a lot of confusion on the requirement to register a nominee in the demat trading accounts before end of March 2023. Is the nominee registration required for trading account as a whole or it needs to be done each fund wise in the case of mutual funds. Very few mutual fund managing companies are providing online facility to update a nominee. Also what will happen if the nominee is not registered as on April 1 ? Can it be done later. Someone please explain
