Share Recovery Agent in Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh’s dormant shareholding is weighted heavily towards public sector employees and the trading towns of the coastal districts. We recover old certificates, restart stopped dividends and claim shares from the IEPF.
Claims are handled remotely and there is no advance professional fee.

Plant townships, port towns and folios left behind
The state’s heavy public sector industry — steel, shipbuilding, refining, ports and power — produced shareholders at scale, through employee-reserved allotments in disinvestment issues, bonus entitlements and long-service holdings. Those folios were opened against quarters addresses inside plant townships.
When the employee retired and moved back to a home district, the registrar was almost never told. The dividend warrant went to a colony address with nobody of that name at it, came back, and after seven unclaimed years the shares moved to the IEPF.
The coastal trading towns — Vijayawada, Guntur, Kakinada, Rajahmundry — add a merchant investing class from the same decades, generally holding national blue chips bought on a broker’s recommendation and kept in physical form.
What Andhra Pradesh families need to produce
In Andhra Pradesh the legal heir certificate is issued by the Tahsildar and applied for through MeeSeva, with the Village Revenue Officer verifying the heirs locally. 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 Tahsildar’s legal heir certificate through MeeSeva, or a succession certificate, only above SEBI’s limits
- Any employee allotment letter or service record that ties an old folio to the holder
What we handle for clients in Andhra Pradesh
How a Andhra Pradesh 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 Andhra Pradesh 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 Andhra Pradesh
Do you have an office in Andhra Pradesh?
No. Our office is in Gurugram and we serve Andhra Pradesh remotely, by courier and video verification. We do not claim branches we do not have.
The folio carries a plant township address from thirty years ago.
That is the typical Andhra file and it is not an obstacle. Form ISR-1 updates the address against current KYC, and where the holder has died the address correction and the transmission are handled in the same submission.
Which cities do you cover?
All of them. Visakhapatnam has its own detailed page, and the same remote process serves Vijayawada, Guntur, Tirupati, Nellore, Kakinada, Rajahmundry and the districts around them.
Could I do this myself?
Yes. The IEPF Authority’s records can be searched free and Form IEPF-5 can be filed by anyone. We charge for assembling the documentation, 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. An agreed percentage of the recovered value is charged after the shares reach your demat account, and government or third-party costs are paid by you at actuals.
