At FYERS, under “Nomination and Declaration”, a Declaration is your formal statement confirming that you do not wish to add a nominee to your Demat account.
This option lets you opt out of the nomination process, which is otherwise mandatory as per SEBI’s regulations. While you can submit a declaration, we strongly advise appointing a nominee to ensure smoother transfer of assets in case of unforeseen circumstances.
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|---|
| I provide a declaration instead of a nominee | Your account will stay active, but you’ll be marked as opted out. You can add a nominee later if you wish. |
| I want to add a nominee later | Log in to FYERS Web/App, update nomination details, and withdraw the earlier declaration. Refer to this article for the process. |
| My nominee is a minor | You must provide guardian details and supporting documents while updating nomination. |
| I don’t submit anything | You must complete either a nomination or a declaration; otherwise, we cannot proceed with your account opening or update. |
