Good to know
Why NRI share recovery needs extra care
Documents signed outside India usually need to be notarised and apostilled, or attested by the Indian embassy or consulate. Your KYC must show your NRI status, and recovered shares must go into the right type of demat account.
Small mistakes here are a common reason NRI claims are sent back. We tell you exactly what to sign, where, and how to send it, so it's done right the first time.

From a client in Connecticut, USA
“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.”

Getting the Attestations Right
Missing or wrong attestations are the most common reason NRI claims stall. Documents signed abroad usually need notarisation and an apostille, or attestation by the Indian embassy or consulate, and an overseas bank's confirmation of your signature.
Our guides show where each attestation fits in an IEPF-5 claim and an ISR-4 request.
FAQ
Common Questions From NRIs
Do I need to travel to India?
In most cases, no. We handle the work in India and you sign documents where you live.
My country isn't part of the Apostille Convention.
Then documents are usually attested by the Indian embassy or consulate instead. We'll tell you which applies.
I don't have a PAN.
We'll help you apply for one. It's needed to hold shares in India.
Can I sell the shares and send the money abroad?
Recovered shares are usually held in an NRO demat account, and sale proceeds go to your NRO bank account. Money can be sent abroad from an NRO account within RBI limits, with the required tax paperwork. We'll explain what applies to you.
I'm in a different time zone. When can we talk?
We schedule calls to suit your time zone, and most updates happen on WhatsApp.
How much does it cost?
Every case is different. After the free check, we send a written quote based on your documents and the work involved. You decide whether to go ahead. See how our fees work.
