Unclaimed dividends and shares transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPF) can feel overwhelming to recover — especially when documentation issues, legal heir cases, or old physical share certificates are involved.
At The Legal Consultation, we handle the entire IEPF claim process on your behalf — from documentation to final refund credit.
The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority operates under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India.
If dividends remain unclaimed for 7 consecutive years, the related shares are transferred to IEPF. Investors must then apply through a formal legal and verification process to recover their investments.
That process is technical and mistakes can cause rejection or delays.
We provide end-to-end professional assistance for:
Recovery of shares transferred to IEPF
Claim of unclaimed dividends
Transmission cases (legal heir claims)
NRI shareholder claims
Lost share certificate cases
Signature mismatch resolution
Name correction and documentation alignment
We coordinate with:
The concerned company
Company Nodal Officer

Let’s be honest — most claims fail due to:
