Unclaimed Shares FAQ: Common Questions About Recovery

Answers to common questions about forgotten shares, unclaimed dividends, IEPF and recovery assistance in India.

Can I recover unclaimed shares myself?

In many situations, yes. The relevant company, RTA and authority processes are available to claimants. Professional assistance is optional and should be evaluated on value, transparency and cost.

Does a public record prove I own shares?

No. It is a potential historical record. Ownership and entitlement require verification.

Does a high dividend mean I am an HNI?

No. Dividend amount depends on the dividend per share and the number of shares, and historical corporate actions can complicate estimates.

Should I pay an upfront fee?

There is no universal answer. Ask for a written fee structure and understand whether third-party costs are separate. Do not pay based solely on claims of government authorization.

Is Find N Recover a government agent?

No. It is an independent private service provider and does not claim IEPF/MCA/SEBI appointment or empanelment.
