Lost Share Certificates: Your Questions
Can shares be recovered without the original certificate?
A replacement route may be available. The requirements depend on the company record, holder details and current RTA instructions.
What is a Letter of Confirmation?
It is a document that may be issued for the confirmed holding and used in the demat process. We will explain whether it applies to your case.
Is a police complaint always required?
The requirement can depend on the circumstances, value and instructions of the company or RTA. We confirm the current route before asking you to prepare anything.
Will a newspaper notice be required?
It may be required in some cases. We will review the holding and current instructions before explaining any publication step.
What if the shareholder has died?
The certificate issue may need to be coordinated with transmission. We will review the holder and heir details to explain the sequence.
Can a damaged certificate be submitted?
It depends on whether the identifying details remain usable and what the company or RTA accepts. A photo can help with the first review.
Is the first certificate review free?
Yes. We first understand the record and explain the likely route before you decide whether to proceed.
What happens after replacement?
The next step commonly connects with demat, but the exact route depends on the document issued and the holding status.
