Infosys Shares Recovery: Old Certificates, Unclaimed Dividends and IEPF
Many early Infosys investors and employees still hold paper certificates or folios that were never updated, some in a parent's name and some belonging to holders who have since moved abroad. Dividends go unpaid, and after seven years the shares can move to IEPF. Expertvuw helps families trace these holdings and recover them through the official route.
Infosys shares and dividends can still be claimed. Infosys lists on its website the dividends whose unclaimed shares have been or will be transferred to IEPF, and its registrar is KFin Technologies Limited. Shares already in IEPF are claimed back through Form IEPF-5. See our IEPF claim services.
Why Infosys shares go unclaimed
- Early holdings: many folios date back to the 1990s and early 2000s, often in physical form.
- Bonus issues over the years: one old certificate can now represent many more shares, which families often do not realise.
- Holders who moved abroad: dividends unpaid because of old addresses or closed bank accounts.
- The seven-year rule: under Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, shares on which dividends are unpaid for seven consecutive years are transferred to IEPF.
Where an Infosys holding can sit today
| Where | What it means | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Physical folio with the registrar | Live holding, records may be out of date | KYC update and demat through KFin |
| Unpaid dividend account | Dividends of recent years not yet credited | Claim from KFin before the transfer date |
| IEPF | Shares and dividends transferred after seven years | Entitlement Letter from the company, then Form IEPF-5 |
How Infosys share recovery works, in broad stages
- Confirm the holding and its current entitlement after bonus issues.
- Correct the records: KYC, names, and transmission after a death.
- Claim from the right place: KFin for live folios, or the IEPF Authority for transferred shares.
- Credit: shares go only to the claimant's own demat account and dividends only to their own bank account.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the registrar for Infosys shares?
Infosys's shareholder services pages name KFin Technologies Limited as its registrar and transfer agent. Use the contact details published there rather than details from messages or third-party sites.
How do I know if my Infosys shares went to IEPF?
Infosys publishes the dividends whose unclaimed shares have been or will be transferred to IEPF on its website. You can also search by name on iepf.gov.in, free of cost.
I have an old Infosys certificate for a small number of shares. Is it worth claiming?
Often yes. Infosys has issued bonus shares several times since it listed, so an old certificate can now represent many more shares. We confirm the current entitlement before any work starts.
Can I claim a late parent's Infosys shares?
Yes, through transmission. The documents depend on whether there is a nominee, a will, or neither, and on the value of the holding.
Can an NRI claim Infosys shares without travelling to India?
Usually yes. Documents can be signed and notarised or apostilled abroad and sent to India.
