Recovering old shares from is often more complicated than simply finding an old certificate. Years may have passed since the original investment, shareholder records may be outdated, the original shareholder may no longer be available in IEPF Claim, or the shares and dividends may have become unclaimed. This is where Swasam Investments plays an important role.
From identifying the investment and checking shareholder records to preparing documentation, coordinating with the concerned company or Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), and following up on the case, We help you manage the recovery process from start to finish.
1. KYC Updation
The first step is to establish the correct identity and current details of the shareholder or eligible claimant. Older records may contain outdated addresses, contact information or identification details.
Swasam Investments helps you understand which KYC documents are required for your particular case and assists with preparing and organising them correctly. Proper KYC is especially important when dealing with unclaimed shares or older investments where the shareholder records have not been updated for many years.
2. Bank & Signature Updation
Old share records may contain outdated bank details or signatures. Before eligible dividends or other amounts can be processed, the relevant information may need to be updated and verified. Swasam Investments assists with the documentation and formalities required for bank and signature updation and coordinates with the concerned company or RTA wherever necessary. If an unclaimed dividend is associated with the investment, correct bank details can be an important part of the recovery process.
3. Nominee Updation
Nomination details are an important part of maintaining shareholder records. Where applicable, Swasam Investments helps clients understand the requirements for updating nominee information.
If the original shareholder has passed away, the situation can become more complicated. The case may require succession or transmission formalities, along with documents relating to legal heirs. We help you identify the applicable requirements and coordinates the necessary documentation.
This is particularly important when an investment includes unclaimed shares and the original shareholder is deceased or multiple legal heirs are involved.
4. Name Updation / Deletion
Old share certificates and current identity documents may sometimes contain differences in the shareholder's name. This can happen because of marriage, spelling differences, changes in personal details, or other circumstances.
We help you identify such discrepancies and guides the client through the applicable name updation, correction, deletion, transmission or related formalities required by the concerned company or RTA.
