Dear, My father/mother invested huge money in SAHARA, now they are no more & I have lodged many complaints against SAHAHA since last 3 years. He had invested whole money in SAHARA since last 25 years. Please guide us how can I claim that money. SAHARA says that money was lying with SEBI, even I lodged in SEBI. No response till now.
.
Ans: I'm sorry to hear about your parents and the situation with Sahara. Here's what you can do to try and claim the money:
Claim Through Sahara Refund Portal:
Check the CRCS-Sahara Refund Portal. This government portal allows eligible depositors to claim refunds for deposits made in specific Sahara schemes.
Eligibility criteria and the claim process are available on the portal. It typically involves registering with your Aadhaar details and uploading scanned documents.
If the claim amount is small (under ?10,000), the process might be faster.
Follow Up on Your Complaints:
Pursue the complaints you filed against Sahara three years ago.
If you haven't received a response from SEBI, file a fresh complaint through their website or by calling their helpline. You can mention the reference number of your previous complaint, if any.
Legal Action:
Consider legal action as a last resort. You can consult a lawyer specializing in financial disputes to understand your options and the feasibility of a lawsuit.
Remember:
Keep copies of all documents related to your parents' investment, complaints, and any communication with Sahara or SEBI.
Be patient as the claim process might take time.
I hope this information helps you move forward with claiming your parents' money.
