Share Recovery Agent in Siliguri
Siliguri families often hold shares connected to the tea and trading economy of north Bengal, bought on paper decades ago and left with a registrar hundreds of kilometres away.
We trace the holdings, prepare the documents West Bengal requires, and pursue the registrar or the IEPF Authority until the shares are credited to you. Free first assessment, no advance professional fee.

North Bengal holdings and long-distance registries
As the commercial gateway between north Bengal, Sikkim and the North East, Siliguri built a trading class that invested in public issues through the 1980s and 1990s. The holdings are typically modest individually and substantial as a family portfolio, and almost all of them were held in physical form.
Claims from here stall for practical reasons rather than legal ones: correspondence that takes a week each way, objection memos that go unanswered, and folios whose addresses predate the growth of the city.
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 or municipal chairman in urban areas, the Gram Panchayat Pradhan in rural ones — after which a revenue inspector verifies locally before the certificate is issued.
In many cases no such certificate is needed. 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 local body, where the state certificate is needed
- Death certificate, SEBI’s transmission request form (Annexure-3) and the claimant’s KYC documents
- Notarised indemnity bond and affidavit-cum-NOC from the other heirs
- A succession certificate from the district court only above SEBI’s limits, with no will
What we handle for clients in Siliguri
How a Siliguri 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 Siliguri 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 Siliguri
Where do I apply for a legal heir certificate near Siliguri?
Through the West Bengal e-District portal or at the Sub-Divisional Officer or Block Development Officer’s office, usually after obtaining a family tree from your ward councillor or panchayat.
Our letters to the registrar go unanswered.
Quote the service request or inward number in every follow-up, and escalate in writing to the company’s compliance officer. If that fails, SEBI’s SCORES portal requires the entity to resolve a complaint within 21 calendar days.
Do you handle claims for families in Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling district?
Yes, and elsewhere in north Bengal. The process is identical and handled remotely.
Is the Kolkata page relevant to us?
The West Bengal documentation is the same; the local offices differ. Our Kolkata page covers the state process in more general terms.
What is the cost?
No advance professional fee, and the first assessment is free. We charge an agreed percentage after the shares are credited, and statutory costs are paid by you at actuals.
