Claim Shares or Dividends from IEPF

Indian listed companies are required to transfer unclaimed dividends and the underlying shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) once they remain unpaid for seven consecutive years. Many investors discover this only when they later look for their holdings and find them missing from their demat or folio.

Our Chartered Accountants prepare the IEPF-5 e-form along with the indemnity bond, claim form, advance receipt, and all annexures required by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. We then liaise with the verifying company’s nodal officer and follow the matter through to credit of shares and release of dividend with applicable interest.

Typical end-to-end timeline runs 4–6 months. Fees are success-based — nothing payable until the recovery actually lands in your demat / bank.
