About this service

Many families have investments made decades ago that nobody remembers: shares bought by a parent, a few certificates in an old cupboard, or a company that has since changed its name or merged. These forgotten holdings can be worth recovering.

We start with whatever you have, even a single old paper or a company name, and search for where the holding stands today. Companies change names, merge and shift registrars, so tracing takes patience and knowing where to look.

Who this is for

  • You found old share certificates or papers among family belongings
  • A relative mentioned investing in shares but left no records
  • The company name on your certificate no longer exists
  • You have not checked on old investments in many years
  • You want a clear picture of what you or your family may be owed

How we help

  1. 1

    Gather the clues

    We review the papers, names and details you have, however incomplete.

  2. 2

    Trace the company

    We follow name changes, mergers and registrar changes to find where the holding is now.

  3. 3

    Check the status

    We confirm whether the shares are held with the company, in demat, or with IEPF.

  4. 4

    Report and advise

    We give you a clear summary of what exists and what can be recovered.

  5. 5

    Recover

    If you wish, we take the case forward under the appropriate service.

Documents commonly needed

The exact list depends on your case. We will confirm what applies to you.

  • Old share certificates, letters or dividend warrants
  • Old bank passbooks or statements showing dividend credits
  • Any names, folio numbers or company names you remember
  • PAN card and identity proof
  • For family holdings: proof of relationship to the original holder

Frequently asked questions

What if I only remember the company name?

That can be enough to start. We search from what you have.

What if the company no longer exists?

Companies are often renamed or merged rather than closed, and holdings usually carry over. We trace what happened.

Will you find everything?

We cannot promise to find every holding, since it depends on how much information is available, but we will give you an honest picture of what we find.
