Share Recovery Agent in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu has one of the deepest retail shareholding histories in India, and a correspondingly large stock of folios that nobody has touched for decades. We recover physical certificates, dormant holdings and shares transferred to the IEPF for families across the state.
Everything is handled remotely — documents by courier, identity verified over video, shares credited to your own demat account. The first assessment is free and there is no advance professional fee.

Why Tamil Nadu holds so much of it
The state’s large industrial groups raised retail money locally for decades, across automotive components, engineering, textiles, financial services and diversified manufacturing. Tamil Nadu investors subscribed in volume and, characteristically, held. The result is a very broad base of small holdings in companies that remain substantial today.
Two features make recovery here more involved than elsewhere. The state had its own stock exchange, and companies with a regional character listed on it rather than in Mumbai — leaving shareholders with certificates in companies that lost their local market when SEBI’s exit policy closed the regional exchanges. And Tamil Nadu has exported professionals to the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and the Gulf for two generations, so the heirs to these folios are frequently not in India.
Neither is an obstacle to a claim. Both change the sequence of work: tracing what became of the company in the first case, and getting documents properly attested abroad in the second.
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 — an NRO account where the claimant is non-resident
What we handle for clients in Tamil Nadu
How a Tamil Nadu 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 Tamil Nadu 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 Tamil Nadu
Do you have an office in Tamil Nadu?
No. Our office is in Gurugram and we serve Tamil Nadu remotely, by courier and video verification. We do not claim branches we do not have.
Which cities in Tamil Nadu do you cover?
All of them. We have detailed pages for Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai, and the same process applies in Salem, Tiruchirappalli, Erode, Tiruppur, Vellore and the smaller districts — the work is remote, so location within the state makes no practical difference.
My shares are in a company that was only on the Madras exchange.
The exchange closing did not affect your ownership. What matters is what became of the company — many migrated to the national exchanges, others merged or lapsed — and that is traced through registrar and MCA records.
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.
