How to Make an LIC Housing Finance IEPF Claim

Indian investors have investments to the tune of ₹1 lakh crore stuck with the IEPF Authority of India. This is because several investors had invested in shares during the era of physical shares and have now forgotten about them, or have passed away without informing their legal heirs about these investments. Consequently, those shares whose dividends have not been claimed for 7 consecutive years have been transferred to the IEPF. Now the onus is on legal heirs and aged shareholders to recover their wealth from the IEPF.

In case you are the legal heir or the shareholder of LIC Housing Finance shares, and want to know how to make an LIC Housing Finance IEPF recovery, read this resource.

Making an IEPF Claim can be a time-consuming, laborious process and involves running from pillar to post seeking the right documentation from various sources. Sometimes people give up their claims, but at Share Samadhan, we go the extra mile to help you recover your investments. Moreover, you can make only one consolidated IEPF claim per company each year, so taking the help of a professional will certainly expedite the process.

How to Make an LIC Housing Finance IEPF Claim

To recover your LIC Housing Finance shares from the IEPF, first verify whether those shares have indeed been transferred to the IEPF. Once you receive confirmation that those shares have been transferred to the IEPF, you can fill out the IEPF-5 form available on the MCA portal. Then you need to send a copy of this form along with the documents to the IEPF Nodal Officer of LIC Housing Finance. Once you send it, they will verify your claim and send it to the IEPF authority to release your dues.

These are the following steps in detail:

STEP 1: Seek Confirmation Whether You Own LIC Housing Finance Shares and Dividends

You can check the following places for details about your shares:

  • The investor relations section of the LIC Housing Finance website
  • IEPF website
  • LIC Housing Finance's RTA or Nodal Officer

You should be able to trace whether you have such shares from these sources.

STEP 2: Collect the Necessary Documents to Fill IEPF 5 Form

Once you have completed checking whether your shares have really been transferred to IEPF, you can then proceed to fill out the IEPF-5 form.

The requirements on the form can vary depending on whether you are the original shareholder, a joint holder, an NRI, or a legal heir of a deceased shareholder.

Commonly required documents may include:

  • Aadhaar Card
  • PAN Card
  • Passport or OCI Card, where applicable
  • LIC Housing Finance shareholding details
  • Folio Number and/or Demat Account details
  • Original physical share certificate(s), wherever applicable
  • Demat account statement, where applicable
  • Proof of entitlement to the shares
  • Cancelled cheque or other acceptable bank account proof
  • Indemnity Bond
  • Advance Stamped Receipt
  • Client Master List (CML), where applicable
  • Death Certificate, in case of a deceased shareholder
  • Succession Certificate, Probate, Will or other applicable legal documents for legal heir claims
  • Any additional documents required based on the nature of the claim

Before proceeding, carefully compare the information across your documents. Differences in your name, signature, address, shareholding details or other particulars may require additional documentation or clarification during verification.

STEP 3: Submit your IEPF Form 5 on the MCA Portal

Once you have gathered all the required information, you need to submit the documents on the MCA website. First register yourself, then begin to fill out the IEPF-5 form with all the required documents and details.

STEP 4: Send the physical documents to LIC Housing Finance

After submitting Form IEPF-5 online, print the completed form and send it along with the required supporting documents to the IEPF Nodal Officer of LIC Housing Finance. You can also send it to its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA). Mention "Claim for Refund from IEPF Authority" on the envelope for easy identification.

The document set generally includes:

  • Duly signed copy of Form IEPF-5
  • SRN acknowledgement generated after online submission
  • Original Indemnity Bond
  • Original Advance Stamped Receipt
  • Proof of share ownership, such as physical share certificates or a Demat account statement
  • Self-attested copies of Aadhaar Card and PAN Card
  • Cancelled cheque or bank passbook copy
  • Demat Client Master List (CML), where applicable
  • Passport, OCI Card, or PIO Card (for NRI/foreign claimants)
  • Succession documents, death certificate, or other legal documents, if applicable

Before dispatching the documents, ensure that all documents are complete, properly signed, and self-attested wherever required. It is also advisable to retain copies of the complete document set along with the courier or postal receipt for future reference.
