Your Family May Be Sitting on Shares Worth Recovering.
Lost certificates, an inherited folio, dividends that stopped decades ago. Swasam Investments traces the holding, prepares every document and follows the claim until the shares sit in your demat account. We take the headache. You stay relaxed.
Four simple steps. We do the heavy lifting.
- 1
Share what you know
Company name, folio or certificate number, or just a photo. Partial details are enough.
- 2
We trace the holding
Swasam Investments checks the company, the registrar and whether the shares moved to the IEPF.
- 3
We prepare and file
Every paper is drafted and filed, and we follow up until queries are cleared.

Shares in your demat
The shares or dividends are credited to your own demat account or bank account.
Six situations. Each has its own route.
Open the page that matches yours to see how the recovery works, which papers are usually needed and where cases get stuck.
Lost or damaged certificates
Torn, burnt, water-damaged or simply gone. We arrange the duplicate and the paperwork behind it.
Shares of a deceased family member
Nominee, will, or several legal heirs. We choose the right route and complete the transmission.
IEPF shares and dividend claims
Shares and dividends moved to the government's IEPF can be claimed back. We run the process.
Physical certificates to demat
Since April 2019 physical shares of listed companies cannot be transferred. Convert them to demat.
Tracing unclaimed dividends and shares
Not sure shares exist, or where they are. We search company, registrar and IEPF records.
Name or signature mismatch correction
The name or signature on the certificate does not match your records. We prepare the fix.
It is rarely carelessness. It is time.
Paper fades, addresses change, and a seven-year clock runs quietly in the background.
Paper does not last
Certificates are highly susceptible to moisture, pests, fire and accidental tearing over decades.
Certificates get lost
Moving houses, shifting offices or poor organising frequently leads to lost certificates.
Replacing one is slow
A duplicate needs a police FIR, a newspaper advertisement and indemnity bonds. It can cost thousands of rupees and take many months.
Dividends go uncashed
If you moved and never updated your address with the company, dividend warrants go to the old address and stay uncashed.
- The seven-year rule
The IEPF transfer trap
If dividends stay unclaimed for seven consecutive years, the unpaid dividends and the shares themselves move to the government's Investor Education and Protection Fund. Getting them back is tedious and bureaucratic.
Corporate benefits are missed
Bonus shares, stock splits and rights issues pass you by when the company cannot reach you because its records are out of date.
We know the route your shares have to take.
This is why someone may discover an old shareholder certificate belonging to their parent or grandparent and wonder whether it still has any value. Why us? Because we know the process of getting your shares to you. If you have found an old certificate, you can check whether the investment appears in an unclaimed shares list or whether there are related records concerning IEPF unclaimed shares. Old paper certificates can sometimes be the starting point for discovering an investment that a family has forgotten about for years. Understanding the history of physical and digital shareholding is the first step toward determining what happened to those investments.
Finding an old certificate does not necessarily mean the investment has been lost. Depending on the circumstances, eligible shareholders or legal heirs may be able to initiate an IEPF claim and recover the applicable shares and dividends.
If you are unsure whether an old investment appears in an unclaimed shares list, the shareholder and company details can be checked and the appropriate recovery process can be done by Swasam Investments +91 98509 90529.
