Recovery of Unclaimed Shares and Dividends

Recover Your Forgotten Investments with Expert Assistance

Many investors who purchased shares during the era of physical share certificates have lost track of their investments over time. In many cases, investors or their legal heirs are unaware that valuable shares and dividends remain unclaimed.

If your shares or dividends have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), our experts can help you recover them through a seamless, end-to-end process.

Why Do Investments Become Unclaimed?

Investments may become unclaimed due to several reasons, including:

Loss of physical share certificates
Forgotten or untracked investments
Change in name or residential address
Death of the original shareholder
Non-functional bank or Demat accounts
Incomplete or outdated KYC records

What is the IEPF?

Under Section 124(5) of the Companies Act, 2013, any dividend that remains unclaimed for seven consecutive years must be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority.

Additionally, shares on which dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years are also transferred to the IEPF Authority.

According to the latest Consultation Paper on the IEPF refund process:

₹5,685+ Crores of unclaimed dividends have been transferred to the IEPF.
Approximately 117 Crore shares have been transferred to the IEPF Authority.
