Retrieve old BSE Limited Shares from IEPF with Kinheritance

Restoring Lost BSE Limited Shares Through IEPF with Kinheritance
For many investors, shares are more than just financial instruments—they represent trust, legacy, and a connection to India’s financial heritage. Yet, countless shareholders of BSE Limited have seen their investments slip into the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) due to unclaimed dividends or inactivity. The good news? These shares are not lost forever. With the right guidance, they can be reclaimed, and that’s where Kinheritance steps in.


Understanding the IEPF Process
The IEPF Authority was established to protect investors and ensure that dormant shares and dividends are not left unclaimed indefinitely. When dividends remain unclaimed for seven consecutive years, the corresponding shares are transferred to IEPF. To retrieve them, shareholders—or their legal heirs—must file a claim with the Authority.
This process involves:
• Filing Form IEPF-5 online through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal.
• Submitting supporting documents such as identity proofs, original share certificates (if any), and demat account details.
• Sending the physical documents to the Nodal Officer of BSE Limited, who verifies and forwards the claim to IEPF.
• Awaiting approval, after which the shares are credited back to the claimant’s demat account.
While the steps sound straightforward, the reality is often complex. Missing folio numbers, succession issues, and documentation gaps can delay recovery.

How Kinheritance Makes It Seamless
At Kinheritance, we believe reclaiming shares is not just about paperwork—it’s about restoring financial heritage. Our team specializes in guiding NRIs and families through the maze of compliance and documentation.


Here’s how we help:
• Search & Verification: We identify whether your BSE Limited shares have been transferred to IEPF.

Why This Matters
For NRIs and families separated by distance, reclaiming shares is more than a financial act—it’s about reconnecting with roots and honoring legacies. Every recovered share is a piece of history restored, a bridge between generations, and a reaffirmation of trust in India’s financial system.
