Client success stories
What Our Clients Say About Recovering Their Shares
I had physical share certificates and unclaimed dividends across several companies, inherited from my parents, and getting them transmitted into my name seemed extremely complicated. The Share Search Pro team guided me through the entire process, explained the documentation clearly and helped coordinate the required formalities. Their patience and regular follow-ups made the process much easier than I expected. I’m very grateful for their support.
The shares were held jointly in the names of my late parents and myself, and many of the records did not reflect my updated KYC details as an NRI, which made dematerialisation quite challenging. The Share Search Pro team guided me through the NRI-specific requirements and helped me complete the compliance requirements for my NRO demat and bank accounts. They then assisted with the formalities needed to successfully dematerialise the shares in my name.
The Share Search Pro team helped me dematerialise shares that were spread across multiple physical certificates, making what first seemed a complicated process much more manageable. They guided me through the documentation and formalities and ensured that the shares were consolidated and successfully dematerialised.
The share certificates were held jointly by my wife and me and carried an outdated address, which made dematerialising them quite complicated. The Share Search Pro team guided me through the required formalities, helped update my KYC details and assisted with the dematerialisation of the shares. Their clear guidance and consistent follow-up made the entire process smooth, hassle-free and reassuring.

FAQ
Questions About Share Recovery and IEPF Claims
Answers to common questions about share recovery and IEPF claims.
How long does the share recovery process take?
Most cases take between 6 and 15 months. The time depends on the type of case, how many companies are involved, the documents available, and how quickly companies, registrars and the IEPF Authority respond. Straightforward demat conversions are usually quicker; IEPF claims and NRI cases tend to take longer. We give you a realistic timeline after the free search and update you every month.
How much does it cost?
Every case is different. After the free search, we send you a written quote based on your documents and the work involved. You decide whether to go ahead, with no obligation. See how our fees work.
What is IEPF and why were my shares transferred to it?
IEPF (the Investor Education and Protection Fund) is a government fund under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. When dividends go unclaimed for seven years in a row, the company must transfer the dividends and the shares to IEPF. The rightful owner or legal heirs can claim them back.
Is there a deadline to claim shares from IEPF?
No. Shares in IEPF can be claimed at any time by the owner or their legal heirs.
Can NRIs recover shares without visiting India?
In most cases, yes. We handle the work in India and guide you on signing, notarising and apostilling documents where you live, and on opening the right NRI demat and bank accounts.
What if I don't have the original share certificates?
Missing certificates are common and don't stop the process. A name, an old address or a company name is enough to start the search.
What is Form ISR-4 and when do I need it?
Form ISR-4 is SEBI's form for physical shares to get duplicate shares, claim shares from a company's suspense account, or exchange old certificates. The registrar issues a Letter of Confirmation, valid for 120 days, to get the shares into your demat account. See our Form ISR-4 guide.
How do I check my IEPF claim status?
Check it on the IEPF portal (iepf.gov.in) using the SRN on your IEPF-5 acknowledgement. See our IEPF-5 guide.
