My mother Anuradha Mukherji held a demat account no 57223737 with HDFC held through Ask PMS . ( ask client ID 0020325) . My mother died 16.6.2019. Demat account with HDFC was held in single name with no nomination registered . Neither Ask nor HDFC ever made any attempt to discuss the matter of nomination or the implications of opting out with her .
My late Mother left a will with probate granted in favour of myself as only legal heir . Probate was granted in
I started the process of deceased claim transmission with ASk and HDFC in May 2021 and there has been unreasonable delay from both parties . Neither have been helpful . I have sent all the documents as required and upon request of HDFC sent an amended affidavit of assets to reflect current CML . This order was passed by the High Court Calcutta who have also directed that the demat account should be transmitted to a demat account of myself as the legal heir. HDFC are delaying the claim and are requesting that executors open a demat account for transmission. The executors are elderly and unable to deal with the formalities of this . Further this is against NSDL and SeBI rules which note that transmission in such cases should be to an individual demat account . I am a grieving relative trying to deal with this and are appealing to you to expedite this claim,
