IEPF Share Recovery
When dividends remain unclaimed for 7 consecutive years, companies are mandated to transfer the underlying shares to the creation of the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Recovering these requires filing Form IEPF-5 and submitting a rigorous set of legal documents to the Nodal Officer and the Authority. We simplify this daunting process for you.
