Share Recovery Agent in Madurai
Madurai and the districts around it hold a quieter kind of old shareholding: modest, long-held and rarely traded. We recover those folios, restart stopped dividends and claim shares from the IEPF for families across southern Tamil Nadu.
Everything is handled remotely, with no advance professional fee.

Long holdings in a conservative market
The investing culture in southern Tamil Nadu has historically been a buy-and-keep one. Trading families in Madurai, and the printing and fireworks businesses around Sivakasi and Virudhunagar, bought shares as a store of value rather than as positions to be traded, and passed them down. Certificates from the 1980s in this region are frequently still in the original holder’s name three decades later.
That produces two consequences we see repeatedly. The holdings have had the full benefit of bonus issues and splits, so they are often worth considerably more than the family assumes from the face of the certificate. And because nobody ever intended to sell, nobody ever dematerialised, so almost everything is still physical.
The third pattern is distance from the registrars. Every transfer agent involved is in Chennai, Mumbai or Hyderabad, and a single returned letter tends to end the correspondence. Dividends stop, seven years pass, and the shares move to the IEPF.
What Tamil Nadu families need to produce
In Tamil Nadu the legal heir certificate is issued by the Tahsildar of the taluk and applied for through the eSevai portal or a Taluk office, with the Village Administrative Officer verifying the family details. 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 or a succession certificate, only above SEBI’s limits and where there is no will
- A demat account in the claimant’s name, with a Client Master List under two months old
What we handle for clients in Madurai
How a Madurai 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 Madurai 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 Madurai
Do you have an office in Madurai?
No. We work from Gurugram and serve Madurai remotely. We do not claim branches we do not have.
The certificate says 100 shares. Is it worth pursuing?
Very often, yes. A hundred shares allotted in the 1980s in a company that has since issued bonuses and split its stock can represent a multiple of that number today. Establishing the current entitlement is part of the free assessment.
We have the certificates but the shareholder died intestate.
That is the ordinary case, not a complication. Where there is no will, the heirs are determined by the personal law that applied to the deceased, and within SEBI’s value limits the claim proceeds on an indemnity bond and NOCs rather than a court document.
Could I do this myself?
Yes, and for a single straightforward folio you probably should. 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 — stamp duty, notary, court fees, newspaper notices — are paid by you at actuals.
