IEPF (Investor Education and Protection Fund) has been set up for the protection of investors’ interests. It also promotes awareness among investors by providing all information on its website. However, this website does not provide any investment evaluation or advice. Often people fail to claim their shares that have been transferred to IEPF by the company.
If your funds have been lying with IEPF, you need to track and quickly claim your dues. Crores of unclaimed money in the form of old equity shares, debentures, dividends, and more have been piling up with the IEPF.
Why do unclaimed shares or dividends arise?
The government has been planning to take over those shares lying with IEPF in which corporate benefits and dividends were unclaimed for the past seven years. There are various reasons for unclaimed shares or dividends –
- You may have lost track of the amounts invested in the company.
- A financial institution or company has failed to contact you or locate you for the payment of your dividend. Bank and contact details change frequently and often companies fail to stay updated about the same.
- Often legal heirs and nominees fail to claim shares and dividends as they are unaware of these assets.
- Torn, lost, dismantled, or forgotten shares.
