How to Claim Unclaimed Reliance, ITC, or Tata Shares from IEPF
Legacy investments in blue-chip companies like Reliance Industries, ITC Limited, and Tata Group are among the most commonly unclaimed shares in IEPF. These holdings — often worth lakhs today — can be recovered with the right legal process.
Why Blue-Chip Shares End Up in IEPF and How to Recover Them
India's most valuable companies — Reliance Industries, ITC Limited, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, and others — have millions of shares lying unclaimed in IEPF. These shares were often purchased in the 1980s and 1990s during IPO allotments, physical certificate purchases, or through inheritance, and the dividends went unclaimed for seven consecutive years.
A single share of Reliance purchased during its 1977 IPO at ₹10 face value is worth over ₹30 lakhs today (after bonus issues and stock splits). Similarly, shares of ITC, Tata Steel, and other blue-chip companies have multiplied manifold. Yet thousands of investors or their heirs remain unaware of these holdings.

We search company-specific registers, cross-reference bonus and split histories, locate physical certificate records across RTAs, and file precision IEPF-5 claims to recover these high-value assets for our clients.
