Have you lost track of your shares or dividends? When shares and dividends go unclaimed, they are transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Recovering these shares is important to reclaim your investment and ensure your financial assets should not be lost forever. At Shares Claim Dost, we simplify the process of recovery of shares from IEPF, making it easy for you to regain your lost investments.

Your shares or dividends might got stuck in IEPF due to several reasons, including:
If dividends are unclaimed for seven consecutive years, the shares and dividends are transferred to IEPF.
If you have moved and missed important communications from the company regarding your shares or dividends.
Physical share certificates can get lost or misplaced over time.
Shares inherited but not claimed due to lack of awareness or proper documentation.
Inactive demat accounts can lead to shares being transferred to IEPF.
To recover your IEPF unclaimed shares, you need to submit specific documents. These include:
Duly filled and signed by the claimant.
Generated after submitting Form IEPF-5 online
On a non-judicial stamp paper, signed by the claimant.
Signed by both the claimant and witnesses.
If shares are in physical form.
If securities are in demat form.
Copy of PAN card for identification.
Copy for address proof.
For bank account verification.
Documents proving your claim, such as share certificates or dividend warrants.
Passport, OCI, or PIO card for non-resident Indians and foreigners.
Here is a step-by-step guide to the IEPF claim process:
The process begins with filing Form IEPF-5 online:
Fill Out the Form: Complete Form IEPF-5 with accurate details. Upload Documents: Attach the required documents, such as PAN card, Aadhaar card, and proof of entitlement.
Submit Online: Submit the form online and generate the acknowledgement receipt with the SRN (Service Request Number).
After submitting Form IEPF-5 online, send the physical documents to the company’s IEPF Nodal Officer:
Prepare Documents: Include the signed Form IEPF-5, acknowledgement receipt, original indemnity bond, advance stamped receipt, share certificates, and other necessary documents.
Label the Envelope: Clearly label the envelope with “Claim for refund from IEPF Authority”.
Send to Nodal Officer: Mail the documents to the company’s IEPF Nodal Officer/Registrar.
The company’s IEPF Nodal Officer verifies the documents:
Document Check: The company checks the submitted documents for accuracy and completeness.
Verification Report: If everything is in order, the company sends a verification report to the IEPF Authority.
The IEPF Authority reviews the verification report:
Final Approval: The IEPF Authority processes the claim and approves the refund if all conditions are met.
Credit to Account: The recovered shares are credited to your demat account, and dividends are transferred to your bank account.
