How to Add a Nominee in the Groww App for Mutual Funds or SIP

How to Add a Nominee in the Groww App for Mutual Funds or SIP

If you’ve initiated a SIP or subscribed to a mutual fund, you’ll be prompted to select a nominee.

If you haven’t specified a nominee initially but wish to add one later, you’ll need to complete a form specific to each mutual fund.

If you’ve invested in multiple funds, this means completing separate forms for each fund.

For example if you have subscribed to 10 different mutual funds, you’ll need to assemble 10 distinct envelopes.

Each envelope should include the form for the respective mutual fund along with a photocopy of your Aadhaar and PAN card, both bearing your signature at the bottom.

To simplify adding a nominee in the Groww App for Mutual Funds or SIP, follow these steps:

  1. Email [email protected] to request nomination forms for various mutual funds.
  2. Download the nomination forms from the received email.
  3. Print the forms.
  4. Complete the forms using block letters.
  5. Sign the forms.
  6. Obtain the nominee’s signature(s) on the forms.
  7. Make photocopies of your PAN and Aadhaar card.
  8. Sign the copies.
  9. Fold the forms along with the photocopies of your PAN and Aadhaar card.
  10. Place the forms in an envelope.
  11. Write the address of the respective mutual fund mentioned in the received email.
  12. Go to your nearest post office or courier service and dispatch the envelope.
