2.1.8 Maintain Stop Status on Unit Holder Account

This topic provides instructions to maintain Stop Status on Unit Holder Account.

A stop could be placed on a unit holder account for a number of reasons. Such a stop typically results in restrictions being placed on the account, in terms of inflows and outflows, with regard to the following events:
  • Any inflow and outflow transactions
  • Standing instructions
  • Tax deduction
  • Dividend payment
A unit holder account can be rendered as restricted in an operation through a stop, due to any of the following:
  • An IRS notification on the account. This could be due either to non-payment of tax, or incorrect reporting of the Tax ID.
  • The Stop Code being assigned to the account, for escheatment tracking.
