Arun Sinha's blog : Lost Your Share Certificate or Shares Moved to IEPF? Here's How to Recover Them Hassle-Free
Have you lost your physical share certificate or discovered that your shares transferred to IEPF? You’re not alone. Many investors face these issues, but the good news is—there’s a straightforward way to resolve them. Whether it's obtaining a duplicate share certificate or reclaiming shares moved to IEPF, ShareClaimers can guide you every step of the way.
📌 Why You Might Need a Duplicate Share Certificate
A share certificate is proof of your ownership in a company. If it’s lost, damaged, or stolen, you must apply for a duplicate share certificate to continue managing or transferring your investments.
Common reasons include:
-
Loss during relocation
-
Physical damage to the certificate
-
Theft or misplacement
-
Transfer of shares via inheritance
Without this certificate, claiming dividends or selling your shares can become a legal headache.
⚠️ Why Shares Get Transferred to IEPF
Under the Companies Act, 2013, if dividends are unclaimed for seven consecutive years, the corresponding shares are moved to IEPF (Investor Education and Protection Fund). This can happen due to:
-
Not updating your contact or bank details
-
Ignoring dividend notices
-
Unaware of inherited shares
Once shares are transferred to IEPF, you must follow a specific procedure to claim them back.
