Transmission of Shares
The loss of a family member is emotionally difficult, and dealing with financial assets during such times can be overwhelming. Many families discover shares, dividends, and investments that remain in the name of a deceased shareholder. To transfer ownership legally, a process known as transmission of shares must be completed.
IEPF Advisors Group helps legal heirs, nominees, and beneficiaries complete the transmission process efficiently and in compliance with applicable laws.
What is Transmission of Shares?
Transmission of shares refers to the transfer of ownership of shares due to the death of a shareholder.
Unlike a normal share transfer, transmission occurs by operation of law and generally requires supporting legal documents.

Transmission requests may be filed by:
- Registered nominees
- Legal heirs
- Surviving joint holders
