Share Recovery Agent in Salt Lake, Kolkata
Salt Lake was built for salaried professionals, and a great many of its original allottees were exactly the people who bought into the public issues of the 1980s and 1990s.
We recover those holdings: IEPF claims, physical certificates into demat, and transmission after a death. Everything runs remotely from our Gurugram office, and the first assessment is free.

A planned township, and a generation of paper shareholdings
Salt Lake’s original residents were government servants, PSU employees and professionals who moved in during the 1970s and 1980s. That generation bought shares directly, held them on paper, and registered them at the Salt Lake address they had then.
Two things follow. Houses have been rebuilt, let or passed to children, so the address on the folio is often no longer current. And the shareholder named on many of these certificates has since died, which turns a simple demat request into a transmission.
West Bengal documentation
In West Bengal a legal heir certificate is applied for through the state e-District portal or at the office of the Sub-Divisional Officer or Block Development Officer. Families are generally asked first for a family tree or heirship list from the local body — the ward councillor in a municipal area, the Gram Panchayat Pradhan in a rural one — after which a revenue inspector verifies locally.
Often no such certificate is needed at all. 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.
- A family tree or heirship list from the ward councillor, where a state certificate is needed

Questions from Salt Lake
Where do I apply for a legal heir certificate in Kolkata?
Through the West Bengal e-District portal or the office of the Sub-Divisional Officer, usually after obtaining a family tree from your ward councillor. For most share claims within SEBI’s value limits you will not need one.
The shares are in my late father’s name. What do we need?
For holdings within ₹10 lakh per company in physical form, generally the death certificate, the Annexure-3 transmission request form, a notarised indemnity bond and an affidavit-cum-NOC from the other heirs.
Do you have an office in Kolkata?
No. We work with families across Kolkata remotely, by courier and video verification, from our office in Gurugram.
The dividends stopped in the 1990s.
Then the shares have very likely been transferred to the IEPF, which happens after seven years of unclaimed dividends. They are recovered by filing Form IEPF-5, which costs nothing to file.
