What could go wrong with IEPF
IEPF-5 rejected for data mismatch
- Form IEPF-5 requires folio number, DP ID, client ID, and company CIN matching government records exactly.
- One mismatch = rejection at the RTA stage. You find out 4-6 weeks later.
- The consultation ensures your data matches before you file.
PAN not linked to folio
- IEPF credits are matched against PAN. If original shareholder's PAN is not linked to the folio, the claim stalls.
- For inherited claims, your PAN must match legal heir records at the company.
- Consultation identifies this upfront.
Legal heirs filing before share transmission
- If shares are in physical form, they must be transmitted into your name before IEPF-5 is filed.
- Filing before transmission is the most common and most costly mistake in inherited share claims.
- Consultation maps the correct sequence for your case.
Frequently asked questions about IEPF Claim Consultation
What is IEPF?
Investor Education and Protection Fund. If dividends go unclaimed for 7 consecutive years, the company transfers them - and the underlying shares - to IEPF. You can claim them back by filing Form IEPF-5.
Can I get the money back?
Yes. Transfer to IEPF is not forfeiture. File IEPF-5 anytime - no deadline. One application covers shares and dividends. Refund takes 60-90 days from complete application.
What does Rs. 500 cover?
Expert checks IEPF database, then 45-minute call on your case - what is claimable, what IEPF-5 involves, which documents you need, realistic timeline. Written action plan and personalised checklist. Filing IEPF-5 is separate.
What is IEPF-5?
Government claim form filed on MCA21. After online filing, you courier documents to the company's Nodal Officer. Company verifies and forwards to IEPF Authority for refund.
How long does the full claim take?
60-90 days from filing IEPF-5 if the company RTA is responsive. Physical certificate and legal heir claims take longer. Consultation tells you what to expect for your company.
Documents needed?
Depends on case. Living original investor (demat): PAN, Aadhaar, cancelled cheque, client master report. Physical shares: add certificate, affidavit, indemnity bond. Legal heir: add death certificate, heirship/succession certificate, transmission documents.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
What customers say about IEPF
My father had Infosys shares from 2001. I had no idea they were in IEPF or even where to start. The expert found Rs 38,000 in unclaimed dividends before the call and then explained that I needed to complete the share transmission first before filing IEPF-5. Would have made a costly mistake without that.
- Suresh Raghunathan
Found old Tata Motors certificates in a drawer after my mother passed away. Did not know if I should contact the company, go to IEPF directly, or hire a lawyer. Thirty minutes into the call I had a clear picture of what to do and in what order. The document checklist had 7 items. The government one has 18.
- Priya Venkataraman
Very specific to my case. The expert knew exactly how a legal heir claim differs from a personal one and went through each step I needed to take. Did not waste any time on things that did not apply to me.
