Share Recovery Forms: Which One You Need, and Where to Get It
ISR-1 to ISR-5, SH-13 and SH-14, Form IEPF-5, and the transmission annexures SEBI introduced in July 2026. What each is for, who fills it in, and where the current version lives.
Why we point you to the source instead of hosting copies
Formats change. SEBI revised the transmission forms in July 2026, the duplicate-certificate documentation in December 2025, and Form IEPF-5 itself in October 2025. A PDF downloaded from a third-party site is very often the superseded version, and a superseded form is a rejected request.
So this page tells you exactly which form applies and where its current version is published — the registrar’s own site, the company’s investor page, the MCA portal, or the annexure to the SEBI circular itself.
Our Step-by-Step Process
ISR-1 — KYC on a physical folio
Registers or updates PAN, address, bank details, email, mobile and signature. Needed before almost anything else on an old folio. Download from your registrar’s website or the company’s investor page.
ISR-2 — banker’s confirmation of signature
Used when your signature does not match the specimen on record, or none is held. Your bank completes and attests part of it. Sent with ISR-1.
ISR-3 and SH-13 / SH-14 — nomination
SH-13 registers a nominee, SH-14 changes or cancels one, ISR-3 records that you are opting out. SH-13 and SH-14 are prescribed under the Companies Act rules.
ISR-4 — duplicates and other service requests
Duplicate certificates, claims from the unclaimed suspense account, transposition, and exchange, sub-division or consolidation. Since April 2026 the resulting shares are credited straight to demat.
Transmission — the July 2026 annexures, not ISR-5
Annexure-3 is the transmission request form, Annexure-2 the plain-paper form for Quick Transmission of small holdings, Annexure-4 the indemnity bond and Annexure-5 the affidavit-cum-NOC. They are published with SEBI’s circular and by registrars; they replaced Form ISR-5.
Form IEPF-5 — claiming from the IEPF
Filed online on the MCA portal, free of charge, and revised with effect from 6 October 2025. The company’s nodal officer files the matching e-verification report; you upload the postal receipt for the documents you send.
The Global Equity Solutions Advantage
Current versions only
Every form here points at the issuer’s own published copy, because that is the one that will not be rejected.
The right form for the situation
Most rejections we see are the wrong form, or the right form sent without its companion — ISR-1 without ISR-2 being the classic.
Formats that need stamping
Indemnity bonds and affidavits go on non-judicial stamp paper at your own state’s rate and are notarised. We tell you which, before you pay for stamp paper.
We fill them in with you
If you would rather not, we prepare the whole set as part of a claim — with no advance professional fee.

Common Questions Answered
From your company’s registrar. KFintech publishes them in its investor services section at ris.kfintech.com, and MUFG Intime at in.mpms.mufg.com; companies that run their own registry, such as ITC, publish them on their investor pages. Use the registrar’s copy rather than a third-party PDF, which may be an old version.
No. Since SEBI’s July 2026 transmission framework came into force, transmission runs on that framework’s own forms — Annexure-3 for a transmission request, or Annexure-2 for Quick Transmission of small holdings, with Annexure-4 and Annexure-5 for the indemnity bond and the affidavit-cum-NOC.
Nothing. It is filed online on the MCA portal free of charge, by you or by anyone acting for you. What costs money is the documentation around it — stamp paper, notarisation, and any court document your case genuinely needs.
The value prescribed by the stamp law of the state where the claimant resides, which is why it differs between families. The registrar will not tell you the amount; a local notary or your adviser will.
Form SH-4, the share transfer deed, lodged with the company itself rather than through an exchange. That is a transfer, not a transmission, and the company’s articles may restrict it.
