How to claim the lost share certificate and the investment stuck worth 50 Lacs.. Pls suggest.

Ans: To claim a lost share certificate in India, follow these steps:

Inform the Company: Notify the company or its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) about the loss of the share certificate. Provide details like your name, folio number, and share certificate number.

File an FIR: Lodge a First Information Report (FIR) with the police, detailing the loss of the share certificate. This is a crucial step to document the incident officially.

Submit an Indemnity Bond: Prepare and submit an indemnity bond to the company, confirming your ownership of the shares and indemnifying the company against any claims.

Provide Supporting Documents: Along with the indemnity bond, submit other required documents such as a copy of the FIR, proof of identity, and address.

Freeze Share Transfers: The company will freeze the transfer of the lost shares for a specific period (usually 30 days) to prevent fraudulent activities.

Duplicate Certificate Issuance: After verifying your claim, the company will issue a duplicate share certificate.
