Share Recovery Agent in Howrah
Howrah’s engineering workshops, jute mills and trading houses gave a generation of workers and local investors their first shares — usually small allotments, held on paper, and never converted.
We establish what those holdings became, deal with the registrar, and recover shares or dividends that have passed to the IEPF. Remote process, free first assessment.

Industrial-era shareholdings
Howrah’s industrial base produced exactly the kind of shareholding that goes unclaimed: modest allotments to employees and local investors, made before demat existed, in companies that have since been renamed, merged or restructured.
Because the sums looked small at the time, nobody tracked them. Decades of bonus issues later, several of those holdings are worth a great deal more than the families expect.
West Bengal documentation
In West Bengal a legal heir certificate is applied for through the state e-District portal or at the office of the Sub-Divisional Officer or Block Development Officer. Families are generally asked first for a family tree or heirship list from the local body — the ward councillor in a municipal area, the Gram Panchayat Pradhan in a rural one — after which a revenue inspector verifies locally.
Often no such certificate is needed at all. SEBI’s simplified transmission route covers holdings up to ₹10 lakh per company in physical form and ₹30 lakh in demat, on a notarised indemnity bond and an affidavit-cum-NOC from the other legal heirs.
- A family tree or heirship list from the ward councillor, where a state certificate is needed
- Death certificate, SEBI’s transmission request form (Annexure-3) and the claimant’s KYC
- Notarised indemnity bond and affidavit-cum-NOC from the other legal heirs
- A demat account in the claimant’s name, with a Client Master List under two months old
What we handle for clients in Howrah
How a Howrah claim actually runs
Five stages, the same wherever you are. Nothing here needs you to travel, and nothing is billed until the last one.
- 1
Free assessment
You send whatever you have — a certificate, a folio number, a name, sometimes only a company. We tell you what exists and what it is likely worth before you commit to anything.
- 2
Tracing and confirmation
We search the IEPF records and write to the registrar to confirm the holding, the corporate actions applied to it since, and who it currently stands in the name of.
- 3
Documents assembled
Death certificate, heirship evidence, indemnity bond, NOCs, KYC and the demat account details — prepared in the order the registrar and the company will want them.
- 4
Filing and follow-up
Form IEPF-5, the transmission request or the duplicate issue is filed, and we chase the company Nodal Officer and the Authority until the verification report moves.
- 5
Shares credited
The securities are credited directly to your own demat account. Our fee becomes payable at this point, and not before.
Zero advance fee — what Howrah clients pay, and when
We charge no advance professional fee. Our fee is a percentage agreed with you before we start, payable only once the shares or dividends have reached your own demat or bank account. If nothing is recovered, you owe us no professional fee at all.
- Nothing to pay for the assessment, and nothing while the claim is running
- The percentage is fixed in writing before any work starts — it does not move later
- Statutory and third-party costs — stamp duty, notary, court fees, newspaper notices — are paid by you at actuals, with receipts
- Shares are credited to your account, never to ours; we never take custody of your securities
Anyone who asks you for money before a claim has been assessed is worth walking away from. Read the full fee policy.

Questions from Howrah
The company that issued our certificate no longer exists.
It was probably renamed or merged, and the shares carried over into the successor company. We trace the current company and its registrar from the old certificate.
We only have an allotment letter.
That is often enough to start. The registrar can confirm whether a folio exists in that name, and duplicates can be applied for where certificates were issued and lost.
Are small holdings worth recovering?
Frequently. Bonus issues and splits over three or four decades mean a small allotment can be worth many times its original size. We value it before you commit.
What do you charge?
An agreed percentage of the value, charged after the shares are credited. Nothing in advance, and nothing for the assessment.
