If you are looking to recover your lost, forgotten, or unclaimed GAIL India Ltd. shares, then this is the resource for you. You can choose to approach India’s largest Share Recovery platform, Share Samadhan, to help you get back shares that legally and rightfully belong to you.
Take a look at how you can do that.
GAIL Limited is a state-owned Indian energy company primarily engaged in the trading, transmission, processing, and distribution of natural gas. In addition to its core gas operations, GAIL has diversified interests across renewable energy—including solar and wind power—along with telecom and telemetry services, as well as electricity generation.
A company has to transfer shares to IEPF, along with any unpaid dividends and accrued interest, if, after 7 consecutive years, the shares and dividends have not been claimed or paid.
As a claimant, you can make only 1 consolidated claim in a financial year to the IEPF Authority. Hence, it is necessary to have all your documents in order.
Ensure that you are the sole legal heir and provide the documents like Legal Heir Certificate & Succession Certificate & Probate of Will that are necessary to prove the same. In case there are multiple heirs, they must all be involved in the share recovery process.
Ensure that the company has transferred the shares to IEPF.
You will need to prepare an Indemnity Bond when you file your claim.
To recover shares or claim a refund transferred to the IEPF, the claimant must file Form IEPF-5 on the MCA portal. While submitting the form, the claimant needs to provide:
Personal details of the applicant (claimant)
Company details from which the amount or shares are due, including the CIN
Details of the shares being claimed
Dividend amount to be claimed, if any
Aadhaar number (for Indian citizens)
Passport/OCI/PIO card number (for NRIs or foreign nationals)
Bank account details linked with Aadhaar for receiving the refund
Demat account number for the credit of shares
After filing Form IEPF-5, the claimant must send a copy of the form to the company’s IEPF Nodal Officer/Registrar in an envelope clearly marked “Claim for Refund from IEPF Authority”, along with the following documents:
Signed printout of the filed Form IEPF-5
Copy of the acknowledgement containing the SRN number
Original indemnity bond, duly signed, on non-judicial stamp paper as per the Stamp Act.
Original advance stamped receipt, signed by the claimant and witnesses
Original share certificates (for physical shares) or transaction statement (for Demat shares)
Copy of Aadhaar card
Proof of entitlement (share certificate, interest warrant, application number, etc.)
Copy of Passport/OCI/PIO card (for NRIs and foreign nationals)
Cancelled cheque
Copy of the Demat account client master list
Upon receiving the claim, the company must verify the documents and prepare a verification report within 15 days. This report, along with the claimant’s documents, is then submitted to the IEPF Authority.
After receiving the company’s verification report, the IEPF Authority reviews the claim and decides on the application within 60 days.
If the claim is approved:
A refund sanction order is issued with the approval of the competent authority
The Drawing and Disbursing Officer sends the payment bill to the Pay and Accounts Officer
The eligible shares are credited to the claimant’s Demat account, and any approved refund amount is transferred to the claimant’s bank account
