Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a government undertaking company established in 1954 under the Ministry of Defence, is now India's most trusted public sector undertaking (PSU). Over time, this company has become renowned for producing high-quality defence and aerospace electronics. With a constant delivery of high dividends to its shareholders, this company's shares have become valuable - especially for families whose relatives invested decades ago.
Does your family have unclaimed deceased shares in Bharat Electronics Limited? Why wait? As legal heirs, you can recover it with proper share transmission and the IEPF recovery process!
So, let's get deep into recovering lost or unclaimed investments linked to Bharat Electronics Limited.
The transmission of shares is the procedure by which ownership of shares is passed from a dead shareholder to their legitimate heirs or beneficiaries after the shareholder's death. This is the most common and popular way to transfer the share to the legal heir. However, a few documents are mandatory in this process.
Here, the legal heir certificate is issued by the Revenue Department of the district. The SDM office issues it for metropolitan areas, whereas the Tehsil office issues the Legal Heir Certificate for non-metropolitan areas. In some areas, the legal heir certificate is known as the Surviving Member Certificate.
Also, the probate of a will and a succession certificate are not the same! Probate is provided when a deceased individual leaves a will. A Succession Certificate is given in cases when a deceased individual leaves no will. In the case of probate, the beneficiaries only get the assets specified in the will. The legal heir is entitled to all of the deceased's assets under a succession certificate.
According to the Indian Succession Act of 1925, a beneficiary in succession may only be a legal heir, whereas a beneficiary in probate may be any person or organisation.
According to the Companies Act, 2013, if dividends remain unclaimed for seven consecutive years, both the unclaimed dividend amount and the corresponding shares are transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).
The IEPF Authority was established by the Government of India to protect investors’ interests and hold these unclaimed funds safely until the rightful owners or their heirs claim them.
The transmission process can seem complicated, but following the correct sequence makes it manageable.
Step 1: Collect Essential Documents
To initiate transmission, legal heirs must gather:
Step 2: Submit Transmission Request
Write to the RTA of BEL (KFin Technologies) with a request for transmission. Attach all supporting documents and a covering letter clearly mentioning your contact and demat account details.
Step 3: Verification by RTA
The RTA verifies all submitted papers, checks authenticity, and confirms the legal heir’s eligibility.
Step 4: Completion of Transmission
Once approved, the shares are transmitted to the legal heir’s name in dematerialised form. This new owner can then claim dividends or apply for IEPF recovery if required.
If dividends or shares have already been transferred to the IEPF, the legal heir must follow the official IEPF recovery process.
Step 1: IEPF Shares Search
Go to the IEPF official website and search under “Search Unclaimed Shares / Dividends”. Enter the shareholder’s name and company name (Bharat Electronics Limited).
Step 2: Fill Out IEPF-5 Form
Log in to the MCA portal and fill Form IEPF-5, providing shareholder details, bank account, and demat account information.
Step 3: Print & Sign the Acknowledgement
After submission, download and print the acknowledgement. Attach your self-attested ID proofs, transmission documents, and dividend statements.
Step 4: Send Physical Documents to BEL’s RTA
Submit all documents via registered post to KFin Technologies Ltd, along with the original IEPF-5 acknowledgement.
Step 5: IEPF Authority Review
After verification by BEL’s RTA, the IEPF Authority will review and, upon approval, credit the shares and dividends directly to your demat and bank accounts.
IEPF Claim Period: Claims must be submitted within 25 years from the date of transfer to IEPF.
Accurate Documents: Missing or mismatched documents are the biggest reason for delays — ensure everything is correctly attested.
Duplicate Share Certificates: If the original certificate is lost, follow the procedure for the issue of a duplicate share certificate through indemnity and affidavit.
For NRIs: NRI claimants must provide notarised copies of ID proofs and documents attested by the Indian Embassy.
Avoid Middlemen: Always rely on a professional share recovery firm in Delhi like Share Samadhan, not on unauthorised agents.
