  3. RTA will give Entitlement Letter only after establishing authenticity of claimant by asking the claimant to provide his KYC documents, Share Certificates, signature verification etc.
  4. If the Claimant does not have Original Share Certificate with him / her, then RTA will ask to carry procedure of duplicate issue of shares before issuing Entitlement Letter
  5. If investor is deceased and claimant is a legal heir, then RTA would additionally ask legal documents like Succession Certificate, Probate of Will, Legal Heir Certificate to establish the authenticity as legal heir. Further Claimant will have to fulfil procedure of Transmission as well.
