What is IEPF and how do I know if my shares are there?

IEPF stands for Investor Education and Protection Fund — a statutory body under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. When dividends on a share go unclaimed for seven consecutive years, both the unclaimed dividend amount and the underlying shares are transferred to IEPF. You can check whether your shares are at IEPF by visiting iepf.gov.in, or by contacting us — we will run the check as part of the free consultation at no charge.

How long does the IEPF recovery process take?

The IEPF recovery process typically takes between six and twelve months from the date of complete filing. The timeline depends on the responsiveness of the company's Nodal Officer, the completeness of your documentation, and whether any discrepancies arise during government verification. Our team actively follows up at every stage to keep your case moving as efficiently as possible.

Can NRIs recover their Indian shares without visiting India?

Yes. Our NRI recovery service is designed to be fully remote. We accept notarised and apostilled documents and manage all RTA correspondence, IEPF filings, and government liaison entirely on your behalf. NRIs in the USA, UK, Canada, Singapore, UAE, and Australia have successfully recovered their investments through us without a single visit to India.

What documents are needed to start a share transmission?

The documents required depend on whether a nominee is registered and whether a will exists. For cases with a registered nominee: death certificate, nominee identity proof, and demat account details are generally sufficient. For cases without a nominee: a legal heir certificate or succession certificate is required. We provide a complete, personalised document checklist after the free consultation.

What are Expertvuw's fees?

Our fees depend on the nature and complexity of the case and the recovery value involved. For many cases we operate on a success-fee model — you pay only when recovery is completed. All fees are disclosed in writing before we begin any work. There are no hidden charges, no upfront commitment, and no surprises.

Do you work with all RTAs and companies across India?

Yes. We work with all major Registrar and Transfer Agents in India including KFintech (formerly Karvy), Link Intime, Alankit, Bigshare Services, and Cameo Corporate Services. We have experience with virtually all listed companies across BSE and NSE, and no company or RTA is outside our scope of work.

The Opportunity

Why Every CA, CS, and Wealth Manager in India Has Referrable Clients Right Now

Your clients have been investors for decades. Many of them have shares that stopped receiving dividends years ago, physical certificates gathering dust in a locker, IEPF-transferred assets they do not know exist, or inherited portfolios with no clear path to recovery.

You already have the relationship. You already have the conversation. The only question is whether those situations get resolved — or left unaddressed because there is no specialist to refer them to.

Expertvuw operates as your back-end specialist for every IEPF claim, share recovery, and share transmission case your client brings to you. You refer. We execute. You earn a structured commission when the recovery is complete.

Category	Scale
Shares Currently Held by IEPF	₹50,000 Cr+
Dividends Currently Held by IEPF	₹5,685 Cr+
Investor Folios with Unclaimed Dividends Across India	Millions
Legal Heirs Unaware of Recovery Rights	Lakhs
Countries with NRI Investors Holding Indian Assets	20+ Countries

Every CA, CS, wealth manager, and financial advisor in India has clients in one or more of these categories. The question is simply whether those clients are referred to the right specialist — or left without a solution.

Who Should Join

If You Work With Investors or Families, You Have Referrable Cases

Chartered Accountants (CAs)

Tax filing, estate planning, and ITR reviews regularly surface unclaimed shares, IEPF assets, and transmission requirements. Referring these cases to Expertvuw earns you commission while your client receives specialist support you cannot provide in-house.

Typical referral triggers:

Client finds old share certificates during estate clearance
Client’s parent passes away with untransmitted shareholdings
Client asks about unclaimed dividends during ITR filing
NRI client asks about recovering Indian shares from abroad

Company Secretaries (CSs)

Your regulatory expertise means you recognise IEPF and share compliance issues faster than most. You understand the framework — which makes you the most credible voice to explain the value of recovery to a client, and the best-positioned associate to convert referrals.
