This SEBI order addresses an application by Mrs. Kiran Toshniwal concerning a joint Demat account held with her husband, Mr. Narayan B. Toshniwal. Mr. Toshniwal was previously debarred from the securities market. Mrs. Toshniwal requested the defreezing of their joint Demat account, asserting that the funds and securities within it were solely hers and properly declared in her income tax returns. After reviewing evidence, SEBI found merit in her claim, noting distinct ownership of assets between her and her husband. Consequently, SEBI has permitted Mrs. Toshniwal to transfer the securities from the joint account to an individual account within three months.
