Unclaimed dividends and shares are financial assets that have not been claimed by their rightful owners within a specified period. These assets can accumulate due to various reasons such as the owner’s unawareness, change of address, death, or simply forgetting about the investment. When dividends or shares remain unclaimed for seven consecutive years, they are transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). If you find yourself in this situation, recovering these unclaimed dividends and shares is crucial to reclaiming your financial assets. Shares Claim Dost is here to help you navigate this complex process smoothly.

There are several reasons why dividends or shares might go unclaimed:
If you have moved and didn’t update your address with the company, you might miss important communication regarding your dividends or shares.
If the shareholder passes away and the heirs are unaware of the investments, the assets may remain unclaimed.
Physical share certificates can be easily lost or misplaced over time.
Investors might not be aware of the dividends declared or shares held.
If a Demat account remains inactive for a long period, any dividends or shares associated with it may go unclaimed.
To recover your unclaimed dividends and shares, you need to provide specific documents. These include:
A duly filled and signed claim form (Form IEPF-5 for IEPF claims).
If shares are in physical form.
PAN card, Aadhaar card, or passport.
Recent utility bills, Aadhaar card, or passport.
Canceled cheque or bank statement with your name.
In case of the deceased shareholder.
For claiming shares and dividends of a deceased shareholder.
An affidavit as required by the authority.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to recover your unclaimed dividends and shares:
Complete the claim form accurately with all necessary details. For IEPF claims, use Form IEPF-5 available on the IEPF website.
Collect all required documents as listed above to recover IEPF unclaimed dividend. Ensure all documents are correctly filled out and signed where needed.
Submit the claim form and documents to the company’s registrar or share transfer agent (RTA). They will verify your documents and process your claim.
The company or RTA will verify the submitted documents. They may contact you for additional information if needed.
For IEPF claims, once the company verifies your documents, they will send a verification report to the IEPF Authority.
The IEPF Authority will review the verification report and process your claim. If approved, your dividends and shares will be transferred to your Demat account and bank account, respectively.
