IEPF Consultant in Bengaluru: Remote Share Recovery Support

How we support Bengaluru clients

IEPF consultant in Bengaluru: what we handle

When dividends on a share stay unpaid for 7 consecutive years, the company transfers the dividend and the shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund. There is no time limit to claim them back, and Form IEPF-5 has no filing charge. Since October 2025, claims are filed on IEPFA's integrated portal, with pre-filled forms, PAN and OTP verification, and multiple folios in one claim.

• IEPF claims for shares and dividends
• Unclaimed shares recovery for old or forgotten folios
• Share transmission after a holder's death
• Physical shares to demat
• Duplicate share certificates for lost papers

Do you need help with this?

Yes. The official route through iepf.gov.in is free, IEPFA runs a helpline (14453), and IEPFA has held free Niveshak Shivir investor camps in several cities in 2025–26. Many shareholders file simple claims themselves. Our help is most useful for several folios, a deceased holder, name or signature mismatches, or old physical certificates.

A note on legal heir papers in Karnataka

Heirship documents matter when the original holder has died. Legal heir certificates are issued by state revenue departments, and practice differs by state. In Karnataka, legal heir certificates are issued only to families of deceased government servants, so most families rely on other heirship documents.

Recent rules help here. SEBI's transmission circular of July 2026 allows simplified documentation, an affidavit-cum-NOC from heirs with an indemnity, up to ₹10 lakh for physical and ₹30 lakh for demat holdings. For larger or disputed cases, a succession certificate from a civil court may be needed; that petition is filed by an advocate, and we coordinate the documentation. See succession certificate and legal heir support.

How the remote process works

1. Review: share what you have and we map the likely status of each holding.
2. Tracing and documents: we work with the company, RTA and IEPF records.
3. Filing and follow-up: you file as the applicant, with our support.
4. Credit: shares go to your demat account and money to your own bank account.

Frequently asked questions

Does Expertvuw have an office in Bengaluru?

No. We do not have an office in Bengaluru. We serve clients in Bengaluru and across Karnataka remotely from our registered office in Dwarka, Delhi and our corporate office in Udyog Vihar, Gurugram, using video calls, email, WhatsApp and courier for original papers when they are required.

Can an IEPF claim be completed without visiting Delhi?

Yes. Form IEPF-5 is filed online through IEPFA's integrated portal, the company e-verifies the claim, and IEPFA decides it. Original papers, where a company or RTA needs them, can be sent by courier. You remain the applicant, and shares are credited to your own demat account.

How do I get a legal heir certificate in Karnataka?

In Karnataka, legal heir certificates are issued only to families of deceased government servants, so most families rely on other heirship documents. For shares, SEBI's simplified transmission route accepts an affidavit-cum-NOC from heirs with an indemnity within set value limits. Larger or disputed cases may need a succession certificate through an advocate.

Can I file an IEPF claim myself from Bengaluru?

Yes. The IEPF route is free, Form IEPF-5 has no filing charge, and IEPFA runs a helpline on 14453. Many shareholders manage simple claims on their own. Our support is most useful for multiple folios, a deceased holder, mismatched names or signatures, or old physical certificates.

How do I send original share certificates safely?

Send originals only when we confirm that a company or RTA needs them, and keep copies of every page first. We will tell you exactly where the papers should go and track them until they reach their destination. For many steps, scanned copies over email are enough.

How long does share transmission take?

Timelines depend on the company, RTA and your documents, so we do not promise dates. Under SEBI's July 2026 transmission circular, RTAs are expected to process requests within 21 days of receiving complete documents. IEPF claims take longer because the company and IEPFA both review them.
