Disputes relating to the ownership or transfer of shares can arise for various reasons, including unauthorised transfers, disagreements between shareholders, incorrect records, transmission issues or disputes regarding ownership rights. Such matters may involve significant documentation and require careful examination of the history of the securities.
Our Disputed Transfer of Shares service assists clients in organising and reviewing the available share-related records. We help identify relevant documents such as share certificates, transfer forms, company correspondence, transaction records, notices and other supporting evidence that may be important for understanding the dispute.
Where a matter falls within the jurisdiction of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), we provide assistance in coordinating the documentation and procedural requirements with the appropriate professionals. We help clients understand the information and records that may be required for pursuing an appropriate remedy.
Every disputed share matter is different and may involve legal, regulatory and factual considerations. Our role is to provide process and documentation assistance and help coordinate the case appropriately; any legal opinion, representation or order remains subject to the applicable law and the decision of the competent authority.

Shares and dividends that remain unclaimed for the prescribed period may be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) in accordance with applicable provisions. Once securities have been transferred to the IEPF, shareholders or eligible legal heirs may need to follow a specific procedure to submit a claim for recovery.
Our IEPF Share Recovery Service assists shareholders and legal heirs in understanding and completing the documentation required for an IEPF claim. We help review available records, identify the relevant shares and dividends and organise the information required for submission to the concerned authorities.
The process may involve several documents and formalities, including share ownership records, identity and address proofs, bank details, demat information, company/RTA documents and other supporting records. We provide step-by-step assistance to help ensure that the documentation is prepared in an organised manner.
We also assist with coordination and follow-up relating to the claim process, subject to the requirements of the concerned company, RTA and applicable authorities. Approval and recovery are subject to verification and the applicable statutory procedures.

Share transfer-related issues can occur when a transfer has not been completed correctly, documents are missing, ownership records contain discrepancies or a shareholder faces difficulties in establishing the status of a particular transfer. Such issues can become more complicated when the original transaction took place several years ago.
Our Share Transfer Recovery Service helps clients review the available information relating to the shares and transfer transaction. We assist in examining share certificates, folio details, transfer documents, company correspondence, transaction records and other available evidence to understand the current status of the shares.
Based on the circumstances, we guide clients regarding the documentation and procedures that may be required to address the issue with the concerned company or RTA. Where additional professional or legal assistance is required, we help coordinate the matter with the appropriate professionals.
Our objective is to provide a structured approach to resolving share transfer-related difficulties and help clients understand the steps involved. The final resolution depends on the records available, verification by the concerned authority and the applicable rules and regulations.
