TRANSFER OF SHARES

We Can Help You

How We Can Help You

Transferring shares can sometimes present challenges that impede the smooth transfer of ownership. IEPF Claims is dedicated to providing expert assistance to investors facing various obstacles during the share transfer process. Our services are tailored to address specific issues that investors may encounter during share transfers, including

Mismatch of signature: We understand that companies may deny the transfer of shares due to discrepancies between the transferor's signature on the transfer deed and the specimen signature in company records. IEPF Claims offers solutions to reconcile these differences and facilitate the transfer.

Non-submission of transfer deed: If the buyer pays but doesn't submit the transfer deed, the shares stay in the seller's name. This is according to company records. IEPF Claims assists in completing this process, ensuring the shares are correctly transferred to the buyer.

Mutilated share certificates: Share certificates can become mutilated due to wear and tear, causing issues in share transfer. IEPF Claims provides services to address this problem, helping shareholders restore or replace their certificates and complete the transfer process.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

The process of share transmission occurs when the ownership of shares changes due to events such as death, inheritance, bankruptcy, insolvency, marriage, or other lawful means, distinct from a voluntary transfer. When shares are transmitted, the recipient becomes the shareholder of the company and inherits all associated rights. IEPF Claims is proficient in facilitating this process, ensuring a smooth transition of share ownership.

How We Can Help You

Transmission of shares can be a complex and legal-intensive process. IEPF Claims offers comprehensive assistance to clients in managing the entire range of share transmission. We commonly address the following issues:

Mixing up transfer of shares with transmission of shares: A common misunderstanding is the confusion between transfer and transmission of shares. The Companies Act differentiates the two; transfer is a voluntary act by the shareholder, while transmission is an operation of law, occurring without any consideration. IEPF Claims helps in discerning these differences and guiding clients through the proper legal channels.

Holding in various companies: When a deceased shareholder has holdings in multiple companies, specific documentation must be sent to each company along with the share certificates to effect the transmission of shares. IEPF Claims provides diligent follow-up with each company to ensure a seamless process.

Jointly-held securities: In instances where the deceased was a joint holder, the surviving holders need to have a depository account and follow the due procedures for the transmission of shares. IEPF Claims assists in navigating these scenarios, ensuring that the shares are accurately and lawfully transmitted to the surviving holders.

DEMAT OF SHARES

need a demat

Need a Demat: The transition to electronic shares, known as Dematerialisation (or 'demat'), is a crucial step for investors holding physical shares. With IEPF Claims, opening a demat account with a Depository Participant (DP) is streamlined. Investors surrender their physical shares and receive electronic shares in their demat accounts. Dematerialization is mandatory for promoter shareholding, while non-promoter investors have the flexibility to hold securities in either physical or demat form.

Why do you need a demat?

icon Trading Requirement: For a retail investor, holding shares in physical form limits trading capabilities. To buy or sell shares, having a demat account is a prerequisite. IEPF Claims ensure that investors meet this essential requirement for trading in the stock market.

icon Demat is safe and convenient as it reduces risk of holding shares in physical form, reduces paperwork, ensures immediate transfer and eliminates bad deliveries.

icon It eliminates transit losses relating to benefits such as dividends, bonuses, stock split, rights as these are automatically transferred into demat.

icon Any update with depository gets automatically registered with all companies in which investor holds securities eliminating the need to correspond with each of them separately.

How We Can Help You

Here are a few problems that a shareholder often faces. We help such problems and help investors to convert physical shares to demat.:

Dormant demat account: Demat account of an investor may become dormant due to inactivity for a long time. This frequently happens with passive investors who adopt a ‘buy and forget’ approach. This may also happen with an investor who opens new demat account without transferring shares to it from old account. In such cases, the investor faces problems in trading, transfer and transmission of shares.

Lack of updated information: An investor has changed address, but the details are correspondingly not updated with the depository participant or the company, resulting in a mismatch with the shareholder’s database. In this case, the investor may lose benefits such as dividends, bonus, split shares, rights issues etc.

Loss of demat details: For some reasons, a shareholder may loss his demat details, resulting in complete lack of communication with the company and depository participant.

UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS

ipef UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS

Unclaimed dividend is the declared dividend by a company which is not encashed or claimed by the shareholders. The Companies Act of 2013 mandates that dividends not paid or claimed in 30 days are transferred to a separate bank account. An investor can claim his dividends from this account anytime in the next 7 years. After that, it goes to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) which is managed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

How We Can Help You

Although the government has ensured unclaimed dividends, deposits, debentures, bonus, split shares etc to be in safe hands so that the investors can claim it even after a certain period, the number of the affected investors are no less. We provide a whole range of servcies to investors to recover their unclaimed dividends, bonuses, split shares etc. An investor may face such problems because of following reasons:

Outdated records: Unclaimed Dividend largely exists due to incorrect or outdated details of a shareholder in company’s records. Non-intimation of change of address or other details to the respective company results in mismatch of investor’s database with various authorities.

Non-execution of transfer: Shares purchased by an investor remain in the name of the seller due to non-execution of transfer in the name of the buyer. This happens when an investor holds physical shares.

Non-execution of transmission: It happens when a legal heir or successor fails to ‘transmit’ shares in his name after the death of an investor in whose name shares or debentrues are actually held in company’s records, leading to unclaimed corporate benefits including dividends etc.

CONVERSION OF SHARES, DEBENTURES

ipef DEBENTURES
