What happened
The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) has simplified the process for transmitting mutual fund units after an investor’s death. The revised standard operating procedure takes immediate effect and is intended to make claims easier for nominees and legal heirs.
The change follows a Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) directive asking AMFI to further simplify the standards for claiming units or proceeds upon the death of a unit holder.
