IEPF Consultant in Mumbai: Share Recovery Handled Remotely

Why Mumbai shareholders often need help

Mumbai has one of India's oldest and largest investor bases, and many families still hold physical share certificates bought decades ago. The common problems are rarely about the shares themselves:

• certificates in the name of a parent or grandparent who has died, with no nominee recorded
• an old Mumbai address on the folio that the family left years ago
• companies that merged, changed name or moved to a different RTA
• dividends unpaid for seven years, after which the shares move to IEPF

Mumbai-based RTAs you may deal with

Several large registrars and share transfer agents (RTAs) are headquartered in Mumbai, including MUFG Intime India Pvt Ltd (formerly Link Intime) in Vikhroli and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd in Andheri East. Living close to an RTA does not speed up a claim. RTAs work on the documents they receive and follow SEBI's service standards, so what matters is that the papers are complete and consistent the first time. We handle the correspondence and follow-up with the RTA for you.

How the remote process works

The work follows the same national process wherever you live. In broad stages:

1. Case review by video call, phone or WhatsApp, to understand what you hold and which official route applies.
2. Records and KYC: we trace the folio, the company and its RTA, and map the family tree where the holder has died.
3. Paperwork with the company or RTA: we prepare the forms and letters; you sign them in Mumbai and courier originals only when they are asked for.
4. IEPF claim, where needed: the claim is filed online in your name, and we follow up with the company and IEPFA until the shares or dividends are credited.

Mumbai families with members abroad

Where an heir or claimant lives outside India, documents signed abroad usually need notarisation and an apostille or attestation by an Indian mission. Requirements differ between RTAs, so we confirm what the specific company accepts before anything is signed. See share recovery for NRIs.

Frequently asked questions

Does Expertvuw have an office in Mumbai?

No. Expertvuw is based in Delhi, with its registered office in Dwarka and a corporate office in Udyog Vihar, Gurugram. We serve Mumbai clients remotely by video call, phone, WhatsApp, email and courier, and clients who prefer to meet in person are welcome at our Gurugram office by appointment.

Do I need to travel to Delhi for my claim?

No. IEPF-5 claims are filed online, and companies and RTAs work on documents received by courier and email. Any paper that must be signed or notarised is executed by you in Mumbai.

Why does it matter that my documents are signed in Maharashtra?

Papers such as indemnity bonds and affidavits are executed on stamp paper, and stamp duty is set by the state where they are signed. We tell you which documents to execute, on what stamp value and in what wording, so they are accepted the first time.

How long does a claim take?

Timelines depend on the company, the RTA and how complete your documents are, so we do not promise dates. RTA requests move once complete documents are received; IEPF claims take longer because both the company and IEPFA verify them.

My shares are with a Mumbai RTA. Can you still help from Delhi?

Yes. RTAs deal with shareholders across India and abroad through written requests, courier and email. We prepare the requests, track them and respond to the RTA's queries on your behalf.
