IEPF Claim
Your trusted partner for investor recovery — enabling end-to-end claim and recovery of shares, dividends, and other amounts transferred to IEPF.
Overview
The Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) is a specialized fund established by the Government of India to safeguard unclaimed investor assets. Under the Companies Act, 2013, dividends, shares, and matured deposits that remain unclaimed for seven consecutive years are transferred to the IEPF Authority. However, these assets are not lost; original investors, joint holders, or legal heirs can reclaim them through a structured legal process.
Bizmint provides expert end-to-end IEPF recovery services. We assist in identifying unclaimed shares, preparing the mandatory IEPF Form-5, drafting indemnity bonds, and coordinating with company Nodal Officers and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Our goal is to ensure your shares are credited back to your Demat account and dividends are recovered to your bank account with minimal hassle.
