Have you lost track of your shares or dividends over the years? You’re not alone. Many people find themselves in a situation where they’ve lost contact with their investments. This is where the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) comes into play. IEPF claims allow investors to reclaim their unclaimed shares, dividends, and other financial entitlements that have been transferred to the IEPF.
