Conclusion 

The nomination facility of the mutual funds is the only way to pass on mutual fund units from one unitholder to another without going through the route of redemption. Therefore it is important for every mutual fund holder to enlist their nominees if they wish to pass on their holdings through inheritance. However, earlier, mutual fund unitholders did not have the option to opt-out of nomination. This new amendment provides them with such an option, however, the unit holders have to select either option within the due date to avoid any hassles of unfreezing their folios post the deadline set by SEBI.

Having an emergency fund can ease financial, emotional pressure.....by FinVise India

**Source: MINT Vidya, an old client, called me at 9 pm once. I found it a bit strange because I do not receive calls from clients so late, but I took the call. She told me her husband, Venkat, who is a heart patient, had to undergo bypass surgery immediately. He was denied health insurance by many companies because of his ailment. In the couple's last review two weeks before, they were asked to keep six to eight months' expenses in a Flexi bank fixed deposit (FD) for any emergency. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Vidya had stopped working, and to meet daily expenses, they had to stop their systematic investment plans (SIPs) too. Their next option was to redeem the investments they had accumulated to fund their son's higher education.
