Share Recovery Agent in Pune
Pune’s unclaimed shareholding has a distinct shape: a great deal of it came from employees rather than speculators. We help Pune families recover old certificates, dormant folios and shares transferred to the IEPF.
Everything is handled remotely, documents move by courier, and there is no advance professional fee.

Engineering payrolls and the shares they left behind
Pune and the Pimpri-Chinchwad belt were built on engineering and automotive manufacturing, and the companies that did the building — vehicle makers, auto component firms, capital goods and engineering houses — frequently put shares into employees’ hands, through public issues reserved for employees, through bonus entitlements, and later through stock plans. A production supervisor who took up a reserved allotment in 1988 and retired in 2004 quite often still holds the certificate.
That pattern matters because employee folios are unusually easy to lose track of. They were opened at the works address or a company township, and when the employee moved back to a home town in Satara, Solapur or Kolhapur, nobody told the registrar. Dividends kept being posted to an address that no longer reached anyone.
The second Pune pattern is the retired-professional household: academics, defence services families in Khadki and the Camp area, and civil servants who bought into the public issues of the period and then treated the certificates as a drawer item rather than an asset.
What Maharashtra families need to produce
In Maharashtra the legal heir certificate (varas praman patra) is issued by the Tahsildar of the taluka, applied for through a Setu or Aaple Sarkar centre, after the Talathi verifies the family details. Mumbai is the exception worth knowing about: residents of the city can also obtain an heirship certificate from the Bombay City Civil Court, which registrars accept and which is sometimes faster than a succession certificate.
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 heirship certificate or a succession certificate, only above SEBI’s limits and where there is no will
- For employee holdings, any letter of allotment or payroll reference that ties the folio to the employee
What we handle for clients in Pune
How a Pune 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 Pune 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 Pune
Do you have an office in Pune?
No. We work from Gurugram and serve Pune remotely. We do not claim branches we do not have.
The company my father worked for was taken over twice. Are the shares gone?
Almost certainly not. Amalgamations and name changes carry the holding forward into the successor company, usually with an exchange ratio applied. The trail is followed through the registrar and MCA records, and it frequently ends in a company that is listed and liquid today.
I have a letter of allotment but no certificate.
That is still useful evidence — it carries the folio and distinctive numbers. Where the certificate itself was never received or has been lost, the duplicate issue route applies, and since April 2026 the shares are credited straight to your demat account rather than through a letter of confirmation.
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 the 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 are credited to your demat account, and government or third-party costs — stamp duty, notary, court fees, newspaper notices — are paid by you at actuals.
