The address that moved and the folio that did not
Thane’s growth was largely Mumbai’s overflow. Families who had bought shares while living in the island city or the near suburbs moved outward as the city expanded — to Thane, then to Kalyan, Dombivli and Ambernath — and the share folios stayed behind at the old address. This single fact accounts for a striking proportion of the dormant folios we see from this district: the shares were never lost, the post simply stopped arriving.
The district has its own industrial history too. The Wagle Estate belt and the chemical and pharmaceutical units around Ambernath and Badlapur generated both employee shareholding and a local investing class through the 1980s and 1990s.
Because so many Thane folios carry a former Mumbai address, the first step here is almost always a KYC and address update on the folio rather than anything more dramatic — and that step is often all it takes to restart the dividends.
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.
- Form ISR-1 with current KYC where the folio address is out of date
- Death certificate, Annexure-3 and the claimant’s KYC where the holder has died
- Notarised indemnity bond and affidavit-cum-NOC from the other legal heirs
- A demat account in the claimant’s name, with a Client Master List under two months old
What we handle for clients in Thane
How a Thane 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 Thane 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 Thane
Do you have an office in Thane?
No. We work from Gurugram and serve Thane district remotely. We do not claim branches we do not have.
The folio has our old Mumbai address. Is that a problem?
It is the most common situation in this district and it is fixable. Form ISR-1 updates the address with current KYC; your entitlement is unaffected by having moved.
Dividends stopped years ago but nobody died. What happened?
Usually the warrants went to an address that no longer reached you, or the folio fell foul of the KYC requirements and was frozen for payments. Either way the money is not lost — unclaimed dividends sit with the company for seven years before moving to the IEPF, and both stages are recoverable.
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.
