Reviewed 24 September 2026
Do you still own Abbott India shares?
A certificate naming Knoll Pharmaceuticals Limited is an Abbott India holding: the company took that name in October 1995 and became Abbott India Limited in July 2002. Abbott India has engaged KFin Technologies as its registrar, and publishes its own procedure for claiming shares from the IEPF — a sign of how many of its folios have ended up there.
