Unclaimed IEPF shares, old physical certificates, uncredited dividends, inherited assets — we recover everything on your behalf from our New Delhi office. You don't need to visit India. Not once.
100% Transparent Expert Legal Assistance Worldwide SupportEnd-to-end Form IEPF-5 filing and follow-up on the MCA portal
Trace and recover dividends uncredited for 7+ years from IEPF
Convert old paper certificates to demat without visiting India
Transfer inherited shares to legal heir / nominee from abroad
Assistance opening an NRE/NRO linked demat account in India
PAN card application and issuance assistance for NRI clients
These scenarios are more common than you'd think — and every single one is recoverable under Indian law, fully from abroad.
Old physical certificates from the 1980s–2000s can still be valid and worth significant money. We verify, trace, and recover — even for companies that have since merged, renamed, or delisted.
Once shares are with IEPF, the refund process involves multiple government forms, MCA portal filings, and months of follow-up. We handle every step entirely on your behalf — you just share the details.
Everything we do for NRI clients is 100% remote. Document collection, legal filings, correspondence with IEPF, registrars, and company nodal officers — all handled from New Delhi on your behalf.
Understanding the legal framework behind India's Investor Education and Protection Fund — and your rights as an NRI shareholder.
The Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) is a government fund administered by India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Under the Companies Act 2013, shares and dividends that go unclaimed for seven consecutive years are mandatorily transferred to IEPF by the issuing company.
As of recent estimates, over ₹80,000 crore in unclaimed assets — shares and dividends — are held with IEPF, belonging to investors who simply lost track of their holdings.
When an Indian investor emigrates, address changes go unregistered with the company, dividend warrants go unencashed, and demat accounts go dormant. After seven years of inactivity, the shares are transferred to IEPF. The original shareholder — or their legal heirs — retain the right to reclaim them under Section 124(6) of the Companies Act.
The IEPF claim process (Form IEPF-5) is complex enough that most NRIs abandon attempts. We handle it as our core practice.
Yes. Under FEMA regulations, NRIs can receive recovered shares into an NRE or NRO linked demat account. When those shares are subsequently sold, the proceeds can be credited to the NRE account (for repatriation abroad) under standard RBI guidelines, subject to applicable taxes.
We guide each NRI client through the FEMA-compliant repatriation process as part of our service.
Yes. The IEPF-5 form is filed online via the MCA portal. Physical documents — the signed IEPF-5 print, indemnity bond, and KYC set — are couriered to the company’s nodal officer by our team in New Delhi. NRI clients provide signed documents via international courier to us once, and we manage everything else.
In the majority of NRI cases, not a single India visit is required at any stage of the process.
Moved Abroad, Address Unupdated
Shareholder Passed Away
Indian Bank Account Closed
Physical Certificates Forgotten
Old Investment from Parents / Grandparents
Name Mismatch or KYC Not Updated
Company Merged or Changed Name
Demat Account Dormant or Closed
You were the original shareholder and moved abroad. Shares went to IEPF while you were overseas. You can claim remotely with overseas address proof and a valid PAN.
You are the child, spouse, or parent of a deceased Indian shareholder. You can claim via transmission followed by an IEPF claim — we handle both steps.
You were officially nominated in the company or demat records by the original shareholder. Nomination records can be verified and claims filed on your behalf.
You hold a succession certificate, will probate, or letters of administration granted by a competent court authorising you to claim the estate assets.
A government-governed 7-step process. Our New Delhi team manages every touchpoint — you stay informed without handling the paperwork yourself, from anywhere in the world.
Share what you know — company names, folio numbers, old certificates, or even just an approximate holding year. We assess recoverability and confirm the right approach via WhatsApp or video call.
A PAN card and NRE/NRO linked demat account are mandatory for IEPF recovery. If you don’t have these, we guide you through the application process before proceeding with the claim.
We provide a customised checklist. You send us scanned copies via email. We prepare the complete document set — KYC, indemnity bond, affidavits — and coordinate one-time courier of originals where required.
We set up the claimant’s MCA portal login and accurately file Form IEPF-5 with full share details, Aadhaar/PAN, CIN, and accumulated dividend data. Every field is verified before submission.
A unique Service Request Number (SRN) confirms successful online filing. Our team then prepares and dispatches the physical document set to the company’s designated Nodal Officer in India.
We monitor progress at every stage — IEPF portal status, nodal officer acknowledgement, and authority queries. You receive WhatsApp updates whenever there is movement on your case. No chasing required.
Once the IEPF Authority verifies your claim, shares are transferred to your NRE/NRO demat account and dividends to your registered NRO bank account. We then guide you on FEMA-compliant repatriation if required.
NRI cases require overseas-specific documents in addition to the standard IEPF set. Our team reviews and prepares your complete document set before any submission.
Valid Passport — primary NRI identity document; self-attested copy required for KYC
OCI/PIO Card or Valid Visa — confirming NRI status and current country of residence
NRI PAN Card — mandatory for IEPF filing; we assist with application if you don’t have one
Overseas Address Proof — utility bill, bank statement, or government-issued document from your country of residence
NRE/NRO Bank Account Details — IFSC, account number for dividend credit; we assist with opening if needed
NRE/NRO Demat Account Statement — for shares to be credited; we assist with account opening if required
Original Share Certificate — or demat holdings statement if the shares are in electronic form
Original Indemnity Bond — executed on non-judicial stamp paper (required for claims above ₹10,000)
Transmission Documents — death certificate, succession certificate, or probate (for heir / nominee claims)
Form IEPF-5 Acknowledgement — with unique SRN generated on MCA portal at time of submission
The IEPF process takes up to 18 months and is prone to rejection for minor errors — even more so for NRI cases with overseas documents. Our job is to make sure yours goes through right the first time.
Our entire workflow is designed for clients who are not in India. DocuSign-compatible documents, WhatsApp case updates, and a dedicated New Delhi team that handles every on-the-ground step so you don’t have to make a single India trip.
From document preparation and IEPF-5 filing to nodal officer coordination, physical submissions, and final transfer — our team manages every touchpoint and keeps you updated throughout the process.
In the event of disputes, IEPF rejections, or complications — we provide full legal representation, re-filing support, and direct engagement with company registrars to protect your rights and see the claim through.
No. The entire process — document collection, legal filings, MCA portal work, registrar correspondence, and IEPF follow-up — is handled remotely by our New Delhi team. Signed documents are couriered to us once; we manage everything on the ground from that point onwards.
IEPF claims typically take 6 to 18 months from filing to final share transfer, depending on the company, volume of shares, and IEPF Authority processing speed. Physical-to-demat conversions are faster — usually 3–6 months. We track and follow up at every stage to keep your case moving.
Very common for NRI cases. We help reconstruct the file from partial details — old share certificates, bank statements showing dividend credits, company names and approximate years, folio numbers, or even old correspondence from the company. Share what you have and we’ll identify what else is needed.
Yes. Recovered shares are credited to your NRE or NRO linked demat account. Dividends are credited to your registered NRO bank account. Sale proceeds from those shares can subsequently be repatriated under FEMA guidelines. We guide you through the repatriation steps once the recovery is complete.
Yes. A PAN card is mandatory for filing IEPF claims and for KYC compliance with company registrars. If you don’t currently have one, we assist NRI clients with the PAN card application and issuance process as part of our recovery service — so this is not a blocker.
Yes. A demat account is mandatory to receive IEPF shares — they are transferred electronically. NRIs must use an NRE or NRO linked demat account. If you don’t have one, we provide step-by-step assistance to open an NRE/NRO demat account with a registered depository participant (DP) in India before proceeding with the claim.
Not a problem. Corporate mergers, name changes, amalgamations, and delistings are common in Indian markets. We trace successor entities, identify the current CIN, and file claims with the relevant successor company registrar or IEPF Authority accordingly. This is a scenario we handle regularly.
A fair and important question — there are bad actors in this space. We are a registered company: One Trillion Advisory Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India. You can independently verify our company registration and GSTIN. We provide a free initial consultation with no commitment required, so you can assess our expertise and approach before proceeding.
