I am a resident with a trading and demat account with ATS. Can I add Non-Resident Individual (NRI) as a nominee for my account?

Yes, a resident individual can add an NRI as a nominee for their trading and demat account. The below-mentioned cases are also possible

  1. An NRI can be a nominee in an NRI DEMAT Account.
  2. A resident Indian can be a nominee in an NRI DEMAT Account.

Clients can add up to 3 nominees to their DEMAT account. When nominating multiple people, the client has to denote a certain percentage of shares that they would like to nominate. Obviously, the sum total of which will be 100%

For the trading and commodity account, there’s no concept of multiple nominees. The client can nominate only one person for their trading and commodity account.
