Share Recovery Services: Reclaim What’s Rightfully Yours

Fortunately, Share Recovery Services exist to help individuals legally and efficiently reclaim their rightful investments.

At InvestorLink, we offer expert support in navigating these challenges. Below are the key services that make it possible to recover your lost or inactive shares:

  1. Duplicate Share Certificate

If your original physical share certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a Duplicate Share Certificate. This involves submitting:

  • An indemnity bond

  • FIR or police complaint copy

  • Affidavit

  • Application to the respective company/RTA

Our team helps you with document preparation and liaising with the company for smooth issuance.

  1. Name Correction in Share

A spelling mistake or name mismatch in your share certificate can cause major delays in transfers or DEMAT conversions. Whether its a minor typographical error or a legal name change due to marriage or gazette notification, we help you correct the name with:

  • Valid ID proofs (PAN, Aadhaar)

  • Affidavit or Gazette Notification (if applicable)

  • Correction request to the company/RTA

This ensures your shareholding records are legally accurate.

3. Recovery of Shares from IEPF

If dividends are not claimed for 7 consecutive years, your shares may be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Dont worry these shares can be recovered.

We assist with:

  • Filing IEPF-5 form

  • Preparing indemnity documents

  • Coordination with company and IEPF Authority

  • End-to-end tracking of your claim

Recovery from IEPF requires expert handling, and our team ensures that every step is legally compliant and transparent.

4. Transmission of Shares

If a shareholder has passed away, their legal heirs can claim the shares through the transmission process. Unlike a sale or transfer, this is a succession-based procedure.

We help in obtaining and submitting:

  • Death Certificate

  • Succession Certificate or Legal Heir Certificate

  • PAN & Aadhaar of legal heir(s)

  • Affidavits and indemnity bonds

Proper guidance ensures the legal transfer of shares to the rightful heir without delays.
