Introduction

What is IEPF?
The Indian government created the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) according to the Companies Act of 2013. The IEPF Authority receives shares and dividends that go unclaimed for seven years in a row.
Investors and their legal heirs are still able to retrieve the shares by following the specified recovery process, even after they have been transferred to IEPF.
