Share Recovery Agent in Salt Lake, Kolkata
Salt Lake was built for salaried professionals, and a great many of its original allottees were exactly the people who bought into the public issues of the 1980s and 1990s.
We recover those holdings: IEPF claims, physical certificates into demat, and transmission after a death. Everything runs remotely from our Gurugram office, and the first assessment is free.

A planned township, and a generation of paper shareholdings
Salt Lake’s original residents were government servants, PSU employees and professionals who moved in during the 1970s and 1980s. That generation bought shares directly, held them on paper, and registered them at the Salt Lake address they had then.
Two things follow. Houses have been rebuilt, let or passed to children, so the address on the folio is often no longer current. And the shareholder named on many of these certificates has since died, which turns a simple demat request into a transmission.
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 Salt Lake
How a Salt Lake 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 Salt Lake 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 Salt Lake
Where do I apply for a legal heir certificate in Kolkata?
Through the West Bengal e-District portal or the office of the Sub-Divisional Officer, usually after obtaining a family tree from your ward councillor. For most share claims within SEBI’s value limits you will not need one.
The shares are in my late father’s name. What do we need?
For holdings within ₹10 lakh per company in physical form, generally the death certificate, the Annexure-3 transmission request form, a notarised indemnity bond and an affidavit-cum-NOC from the other heirs.
Do you have an office in Kolkata?
No. We work with families across Kolkata remotely, by courier and video verification, from our office in Gurugram.
The dividends stopped in the 1990s.
Then the shares have very likely been transferred to the IEPF, which happens after seven years of unclaimed dividends. They are recovered by filing Form IEPF-5, which costs nothing to file.
