Unclaimed Shares Recovery in India – Complete Legal Process

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 09:46:07 +0000

Many investors in India have shares that were purchased years ago and then forgotten. In some cases, dividends remain unpaid, share certificates get misplaced, or the shareholder passes away without transferring the shares. When shares and dividends are not claimed for a long time, they are transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). However, the rightful owner or legal heir can still recover these shares by following a legal process.
