It’s surprisingly common: a missed dividend, an old address, or misplaced certificates can send your assets straight to the IEPF.
Most frequent causes include:
Lost or forgotten physical share certificates
Change of address, phone, or bank details has not been updated with the company
Non‑execution of transmission after the death of a shareholder
Unclaimed corporate benefits (dividends, bonuses, or mergers)
Unknown or untraced investments by legal heirs

Recent updates from regulatory authorities have made the claim process faster, with new integrated portals and enhanced support, enabling easier tracking and quicker settlements. Infiny Solutions’ team of certified legal and financial experts ensures every step meets statutory requirements, securing your financial interests.
Common Roadblocks (and How We Fix Them)
Unclaimed dividends often occur due to mismatched or outdated shareholder details. Differences in names, addresses, birthdates, or bank information can prevent rightful claims.
Infiny Solutions validates all investor details and corrects discrepancies to ensure a smooth and legitimate claim process.
Unclaimed dividends can also arise when share transfer forms are incomplete, or when transmission of shares after an investor’s death is not executed correctly.
Whether you are a nominee, legal heir, or joint shareholder, Infiny Solutions assists in proper documentation, ownership correction, and dividend recovery for all such cases.
Latest IEPF Process Update for 2026
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made the IEPF claim process faster, smarter, and more transparent in 2026, making it easier for investors to reclaim their unclaimed shares and dividends without confusion or long delays.
Here’s the updated process:
File Form IEPF-5 online on the MCA portal using your valid PAN, Aadhaar, and bank details.
Attach all required supporting documents, such as share certificates, KYC proofs, and company correspondence.
Submit the physical claim copy along with documents to the respective company’s nodal officer.
The nodal officer verifies and forwards your claim to the IEPF Authority.
Once approved, your shares and unclaimed dividends are credited directly to your Demat and bank accounts.
2026 Update: The MCA has implemented enhanced verification protocols to safeguard against fraudulent claims. Submitting accurate details and complete documentation is now more important than ever.

FAQs on IEPF Shares Recovery
The Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) is a government-established fund under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in India, designed to protect the interests of investors whose dividends or shares remain unclaimed for over seven years. When such assets go unclaimed, they are transferred to IEPF; investors or their legal heirs can later reclaim them by following a structured recovery process.
Shares and dividends are transferred to the IEPF if they remain unclaimed for seven consecutive years. This is usually due to the shareholder not encashing dividends or updating their records. The company is required to notify shareholders before transferring such assets to IEPF. Shares and dividends are transferred to the IEPF if they remain unclaimed for seven consecutive years. This is usually due to the shareholder not encashing dividends or updating their records. The company is required to notify shareholders before transferring such assets to IEPF.
Start by checking if your shares are with IEPF through their official website. File the IEPF-5 claim form online via the MCA portal and print a copy. After submission, send the signed physical form along with supporting documents to the company’s IEPF Nodal Officer or Registrar.
You’ll usually need the following:
Yes. Legal heirs, nominees, or successors can recover shares by first completing the transmission process with the company and obtaining an entitlement letter. After this, the IEPF-5 form can be filed along with supporting legal documents, such as death certificates and succession proofs.
Once the company receives your complete application, it has 15 days to submit a verification report to IEPF. The IEPF Authority must then process the claim within 60 days of receiving this report. In total, the process can take 2 to 4 months, depending on documentation and verification speed.
There is no absolute time bar as long as you are a legal claimant. However, only one consolidated claim per year per company is allowed. If your claim is rejected, you must wait until the next financial year to reapply.
Yes. Use the IEPF website’s “Search” tool under the “Claim Refund” section by entering your PAN or folio number to check if shares or dividends linked to your credentials have transferred to IEPF.
The IEPF Authority does not charge any government fee for processing your recovery claim. However, you may need to pay for document notarization, stamp paper for bonds, and postal or notary charges as part of your application.
There’s no hard deadline, as claims can be filed any time after the transfer to IEPF. However, only one claim per company is allowed each financial year. Delays may complicate document retrieval if heirs change or additional legal proceedings arise.
Yes. When you file Form IEPF-5 for share recovery, you can also claim the unpaid or unclaimed dividends that were transferred to IEPF with those shares.

Infiny Solutions were very helpful in the IEPF Recovery and Transfer of shares from my late father to my mother's name. They had initially given a time frame of 3 months for the recovery, however it got done much earlier, even though some of our documentation needed to be redone for submission. We were very very satisfied with the service.Posted on Arpit SaxenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So CA Ridhi and CA Prachi run the firm. Dealing with CA Ridhi is easier because she will understand your questions and try to resolve them, but CA Prachi is the worst because she will always blame you if something gets stuck as it is a long process and she lacks patience. She will start yelling at you for no apparent reason, which is very annoying. Also, I had to do a lot of things on my own because CA Prachi believes that charging fees is fine but that providing good customer service is against her work ethics.Posted on sachin guptaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
