What to Do After an IEPF Claim Query

How to read a query or deficiency on your IEPF claim, respond properly and avoid repeat queries.

Read it carefully

A query will usually say what is missing or inconsistent. Note the exact wording, the date, and the SRN it refers to.

Respond completely

  • Provide only what is asked, clearly and legibly.
  • Keep the details consistent with your original filing.
  • Send documents by a trackable method and keep proof.
  • Keep a record of the date you replied.

Common query themes

  • Name or signature differences
  • Number of shares not matching
  • Missing death certificate or heirship proof
  • Bank or demat details not matching claimant

If you are stuck

Ask the company's Nodal Officer or the IEPF Authority for clarification through official channels. If you want help understanding the query and preparing the reply, you can contact us.

Frequently asked questions

Does a query mean my claim is rejected?
