IEPF Mein Paisa Kyun Jata Hai? (The 7-Year Rule)
Bharat ke Companies Act, 2013 ke mutabik, agar koi investor lagatar 7 saal tak apna dividend claim nahi karta, toh company ko woh paisa IEPF Authority ko transfer karna padta hai. Sirf dividend hi nahi, agar 7 saal tak dividends unclaimed rehte hain, toh un dividends se jude Shares bhi IEPF mein transfer ho jate hain.
Bahut se log puchte hain ki "Kya mera paisa dub gaya?" Jawab hai—Nahi! IEPF ek government trust hai jo aapke asset ka custodian hai. Aap jab chahein, sahi process follow karke ise wapas maang sakte hain. Lekin, 2026 mein MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) ne V3 portal launch kiya hai, jiske baad process thoda technical ho gaya hai.
Paisa Wapas Paane Ke Liye Jaruri Pre-requisites
Claim file karne se pehle aapko kuch basic tayari karni hogi. Bina inke aapka claim reject ho jayega:
- KYC Updates: Aapka PAN aur Aadhaar aapas mein linked hona chahiye.
- Demat Account: Chuki IEPF shares physical nahi deta, aapke paas ek active Demat account hona chahiye.
- Bank Details: Jis bank mein aap paisa chahte hain, wahan aapka naam waisa hi hona chahiye jaisa shares ke record mein tha.
- Client Master List (CML): Apne DP (Depository Participant) se signed aur stamped CML zaroor lein.
Step 1: Apne Unclaimed Assets Ko Verify Karein
Sabse pehle yeh confirm karein ki actual mein kitna paisa fasa hai. IEPF ki official website par "Search Unclaimed/Unpaid Amount" tool ka use karein. Yahan aapka Investor Name, Folio Number, ya PAN daalne par aapko company-wise details mil jayengi.
Pro Tip: Kabhi-kabhi spelling errors ki wajah se search mein naam nahi aata. Isliye sirf apne surname ya folio number ke last digit se search karke dekhein.
Step 2: Company se Entitlement Letter Maangein
Pehle aapko company ke RTA (Registrar and Share Transfer Agent) ko mail ya letter likhna hoga. Unse kahein ki aapko IEPF Recovery ke liye details chahiye. Woh aapko ek Entitlement Letter denge jisme likha hoga ki aapke kitne shares aur kitna dividend IEPF mein hai. Yeh letter IEPF-5 form bharte waqt kaam aata hai.
Step 3: MCA V3 Portal Par IEPF-5 Form Bharna
Yeh sabse critical step hai. 2026 mein ab process poori tarah online hai:
- MCA ki website par login karein aur IEPF-5 Web Form select karein.
- Company ka CIN (Corporate Identification Number) daalein.
- Apne shares aur dividends ki exact quantity aur year-wise details fill karein.
- Bank details aur Demat account (IN/DP ID) provide karein.
- Digital Signature (DSC) ka use karke form submit karein.
Form submit hote hi aapko ek SRN (Service Request Number) milega. Is SRN ko sambhaal kar rakhein, kyunki isi se track hoga ki aapka paisa kahan tak pahuncha.
Step 4: Physical Documents Ki File Taiyar Karna
Online submission ke baad aapko 15 dino ke andar ek physical file company ke Nodal Officer ko bhejni hoti hai. Is file mein niche diye gaye documents hone chahiye:
- Copy of IEPF-5 Form (Submitted copy)
- Acknowledgement Receipt (SRN Copy)
- Original Indemnity Bond: Non-judicial stamp paper par (Rs. 10,000 se upar ke claim ke liye).
- Advance Receipt: Revenue stamp ke saath.
- Original certificates (agar physical shares thay) ya proof of holding.
- Self-attested Aadhaar aur PAN copy.
- Cancelled Cheque aur CML copy.
Step 5: Verification aur Refund Approval
Jab company ko aapke physical documents mil jayenge, woh unhe verify karenge. Agar sab sahi raha, toh company IEPF Authority ko ek E-Verification Report bhejei. Iske baad IEPF Authority aapke claim ka final audit karegi.
Audit pass hone ke baad, IEPF Authority ek Sanction Order generate karegi. Iske baad paisa seedha aapke bank account mein ECS ke zariye bhej diya jayega. Shares aapke Demat account mein credit ho jayenge.
Common Challenges: Log Galti Kahan Karte Hain?
Humare 15 saal ke experience mein humne dekha hai ki log in 3 wajah se apna paisa nahi nikaal paate:
- Signature Mismatch: 20-30 saal purane bank ya company records ke sign ab badal chuke hote hain. Iske liye aapko bank se Signature Attestation karwana padta hai.
- Address Change: Purana ghar bik chuka hai aur company mein purana address hai. Iske liye aapko Affidavits aur Gazette Notification ki zaroorat pad sakti hai.
- Legal Heir Issues: Agar investor ki death ho chuki hai, toh claim bahut complex ho jata hai. Succession Certificate ya Probate mangwaya jata hai.
