Share Recovery Agent in Amritsar
Amritsar’s old trading families invested steadily and held for decades, and their heirs are now as likely to be in Leicester or Melbourne as in the walled city. We recover those holdings for families at home and abroad.
Claims are handled remotely and no professional fee is payable before recovery.
Serving Amritsar, Punjab · Amritsar district from our Gurugram officeReviewed 8 October 2026
Old mercantile money, and heirs on three continents
Amritsar was a trading city long before it was an industrial one — textiles, woollens, dry fruit, spices and the cross-border trade of an earlier century. The families behind that commerce put surpluses into equity through the public issue years, typically in blue chips recommended by a broker and held without any further thought.
Those holdings have had thirty or forty years of bonus issues and splits, so a certificate that looks modest is frequently worth a great deal more than its face. Families who dismiss an old folio as not worth the trouble are usually wrong.
The complication is dispersal. A single Amritsar estate routinely has heirs in India, the UK, Canada and Australia, each of whom must sign, and each country has its own attestation route. Mapping that before anyone signs anything is what keeps these files from coming back.
What Punjab families need to produce
In Punjab the legal heir certificate is issued at tehsil level and applied for through a Sewa Kendra, after local verification of the family. Succession certificate petitions go to the district court where the deceased ordinarily lived.
In many cases no such certificate is needed. SEBI’s simplified transmission route covers holdings up to ₹10 lakh per company in physical form and ₹30 lakh in demat, on a notarised indemnity bond and an affidavit-cum-NOC from the other legal heirs.
- Death certificate, SEBI’s transmission request form (Annexure-3) and the claimant’s KYC documents
- Notarised indemnity bond and affidavit-cum-NOC from the other legal heirs
- A legal heir certificate through a Sewa Kendra, or a succession certificate, only above SEBI’s limits
- A demat account in the claimant’s name, with a Client Master List under two months old
What we handle for clients in Amritsar
How a Amritsar claim actually runs
Five stages, the same wherever you are. Nothing here needs you to travel, and nothing is billed until the last one.
- 1
Free assessment
You send whatever you have — a certificate, a folio number, a name, sometimes only a company. We tell you what exists and what it is likely worth before you commit to anything.
- 2
Tracing and confirmation
We search the IEPF records and write to the registrar to confirm the holding, the corporate actions applied to it since, and who it currently stands in the name of.
- 3
Documents assembled
Death certificate, heirship evidence, indemnity bond, NOCs, KYC and the demat account details — prepared in the order the registrar and the company will want them.
- 4
Filing and follow-up
Form IEPF-5, the transmission request or the duplicate issue is filed, and we chase the company Nodal Officer and the Authority until the verification report moves.
- 5
Shares credited
The securities are credited directly to your own demat account. Our fee becomes payable at this point, and not before.
Zero advance fee — what Amritsar clients pay, and when
We charge no advance professional fee. Our fee is a percentage agreed with you before we start, payable only once the shares or dividends have reached your own demat or bank account. If nothing is recovered, you owe us no professional fee at all.
- Nothing to pay for the assessment, and nothing while the claim is running
- The percentage is fixed in writing before any work starts — it does not move later
- Statutory and third-party costs — stamp duty, notary, court fees, newspaper notices — are paid by you at actuals, with receipts
- Shares are credited to your account, never to ours; we never take custody of your securities
Anyone who asks you for money before a claim has been assessed is worth walking away from. Read the full fee policy.

Questions from Amritsar
Do you have an office in Amritsar?
No. Our only office is in Gurugram, and we serve Amritsar remotely — documents by courier, identity verified over video, shares credited to your own demat account. We do not claim branches we do not have.
The heirs are in three different countries.
Workable, but plan it first. Documents executed in a Hague Convention country are apostilled; elsewhere they are attested at the Indian consulate. Getting the route wrong for one heir is the commonest reason a file is returned.
The certificate says 100 shares. Is it worth it?
Often yes. Bonuses, splits and demergers over thirty years can multiply the holding many times. Working out the current entitlement is part of the free assessment, before you commit to anything.
Could I do this myself?
Yes. The IEPF Authority’s records can be searched free and Form IEPF-5 can be filed by anyone on the MCA portal at no cost. We charge for assembling the documents, handling registrar and company verification and following it through — not for access to something that is public.
What will it cost, and when?
Nothing in advance. A percentage agreed with you in writing before we start becomes payable only after the shares reach your own demat account. Statutory costs — stamp duty, notary, court fees, newspaper notices — are paid by you at actuals, with receipts.
