What Is IEPF?

IEPF stands for Investor Education and Protection Fund. It is a fund managed by the IEPF Authority under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, where certain unclaimed dividends, shares, matured deposits, and other eligible investor amounts are transferred.

If shares or dividends remain unclaimed for the prescribed period, they may be transferred to iepf. A rightful shareholder, nominee, or legal heir can file an iepf claim to recover them through the prescribed process.

When Is an IEPF Claim Required

An iepf claim is required when shares, dividends, or eligible investor amounts have already been transferred to the IEPF Authority.

It is commonly needed when:

dividends have remained unclaimed for several years
shares linked to unpaid dividends have been transferred to iepf
the original shareholder has passed away and legal heirs need to claim
the company or RTA asks for formal IEPF documentation

A properly filed claim helps recover eligible assets through the official process.

What Can Be Claimed from IEPF

An IEPF claim can be made for eligible financial assets transferred by a company to the IEPF Authority.

This may include:

unclaimed or unpaid dividends
shares transferred to IEPF
matured deposits or debentures, where applicable
other investor amounts eligible under IEPF rules

The exact claim depends on company records, shareholder details, and supporting documents.

Who Can Apply for an IEPF Claim

An iepf claim may be filed by the original shareholder, claimant, nominee, legal heir, or successor, depending on the facts of the case.

This service is suitable for:

shareholders whose shares or dividends have moved to iepf
legal heirs claiming shares after the shareholder’s death
nominees seeking recovery of eligible investor amounts
NRIs with shares or dividends transferred to IEPF
families who need help with documentation, entitlement, or transmission

Where the original shareholder has passed away, company-level transmission or entitlement confirmation may be required before or along with the IEPF claim.

I availed of Willjini's POA vetting service. The onboarding and initial connect with the core team was facilitated and supported by Adv. Shweta Ma'am. Details of professional fees were communicated upfront. No hidden costs. Adv. Manisha Ma'am guided me initially, providing vital technical inputs for key decision making. That helped a lot in determing a course of action and appropriate solution for my unqiue requirements. Adv. Riddhi Ma'am helped with reviewing the initial POA draft that I had prepared. The vetting process was thorough and meticulous. A significantly overhauled draft was shared with me and subsequently finalized after taking my inputs and recommendations. I required additional inputs at the time of registration that was further supported by Adv. Manisha and Adv. Riddhi. The registration process was ultimately successful and the POA is ready for pickup. I am grateful to the entire Willjini team for their inputs, guidance and support.

I walked into their office without prior appointment and was attended by Mr.Devvrat Unadkat promptly. He explained with clarity the procedure for drafting a will and also handed over a checklist.

I was assigned a team comprising a Advocate Alpana Rathi and Sucheta Bajaj. From the first meeting with Mr.Devvrat to drafting the will through whatsapp and email by Advocate Alpana and completing the registration formalities by Ms.Sucheta everything went smoothly. The whole team was efficient and professional and with their expertise I am relieved of finalizing and registering the will.

I would highly recommend to my family and friends.

I reached out to them because I needed a will drafted urgently for a house transfer, and I’m honestly so glad I chose them. The team really stepped up. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, but what I appreciated most was how well they communicated throughout the whole process. They kept me updated at every stage without me ever having to follow up. I told them I was in a rush, and they genuinely took that on board — no excuses, no delays, just solid work and a team effort. They got everything done on time and handled it all with care and professionalism. Really grateful for their help and would happily recommend them.

I am pleased to share my experience with Willjinni Service Trust. I have established two Family Private Trusts through Willjinni and found their team to be highly professional and supportive. They guided me through every step of the process, from the initial setup to the pre- and post-registration of the Trust Deeds. I strongly recommend Willjinni to anyone considering setting up a Family Trust.
Thanks to Shweta, Sucheta, Srishti and Alpana for your support and assistance given through out the assignment .
