IEPF Claim Assistance
Have your shares, dividends, or other investments been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF)? Many investors and legal heirs are unaware that their valuable financial assets may have been moved to the IEPF due to prolonged inactivity or unclaimed dividends. Recovering these assets requires proper documentation, regulatory compliance, and continuous follow-up.
At IEPF Advisors Group, we help investors, legal heirs, NRIs, and corporate shareholders recover their investments through a structured and legally compliant process. Our experienced team provides end-to-end assistance, ensuring that every claim is handled professionally and efficiently.
What is IEPF?
The Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) is a fund established by the Government of India under the Companies Act. Shares, dividends, debentures, and other investor-related assets may be transferred to the IEPF when they remain unclaimed for a specified period.
Many investors lose track of their investments due to relocation, outdated records, loss of documents, inheritance issues, or lack of communication from companies. Fortunately, eligible investors and legal heirs can apply for recovery of these assets through the prescribed IEPF claim process.

The following individuals may be eligible to file an IEPF claim:

• Legal heirs of deceased shareholders
• Nominees

• NRI investors
