# Is it legal to continue carrying out transactions in a deceased person’s Arrow account?

> No, it is not legal to transact in a deceased person's Arrow account. Indian law prohibits transactions in accounts belonging to deceased individuals.…

## Short answer

No, it is not legal to transact in a deceased person's Arrow account. Indian law prohibits transactions in accounts belonging to deceased individuals. If you are a nominee or legal heir, you can claim the funds and securities by transferring them to your own demat and bank accounts after submitting the required documents.

## Things to keep in mind

Transacting in a deceased person's account constitutes impersonation and may result in penalties or criminal charges under Indian law. This restriction applies to market transactions, off-market transactions through gifting and transactions using DIS slips.

If a transaction occurs in the deceased's account after the date of death mentioned in the death certificate, the transmission process will be delayed due to increased scrutiny.
