Makarand possessed a substantial portfolio of publicly listed shares in his demat account, with his daughter designated as the nominee. He unfortunately passed away during a trip abroad. His daughter submitted the required forms along with a notarised death certificate (in English and issued by the country where Makarand passed away).
