Mr Shankar is clearly a man of integrity, skill and patience. My aunt only ever spoke of him with praise — I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing to retrieve a deceased estate.

None of this would have been possible without the immense support and professionalism of everyone at Asset Tracers. I especially thank Ravi Shankar for his belief and dedication — nothing was ever too much trouble. I cannot recommend the firm more highly.

As a UK resident, I was sceptical when first contacted about forgotten Indian shares. But Asset Tracers were professional at every stage — Ravi gave me a clear plan and kept me updated throughout. The transfer is now complete, and I'm grateful for their hard work.

Historic shareholdings are rarely straightforward

A lost or forgotten Indian shareholding may have passed through years of company changes, shareholder record updates, unpaid benefits and family succession. Understanding the current position often means piecing together several strands at once.

Company history

Mergers, demergers, name changes, bonus issues and other corporate events can change what a historic holding looks like today.

Missing paperwork

Clients may have only partial certificates, old correspondence or family recollections to work from.

Inherited assets

Where the original shareholder has died, the recovery can become linked to transmission and succession matters.

International clients

Many cases involve heirs and shareholders outside India who need local coordination without navigating the system themselves.

Start with what you know

You do not need a complete file before contacting us. We can assess the information available and determine what the wider case is likely to involve.

Frequently asked questions

Unclaimed share FAQs

Common questions about tracing and recovering historic Indian shareholdings.

How do I know whether an old Indian shareholding still has value?

Historic holdings can change significantly over time because of mergers, demergers, bonus issues, splits and other corporate events. We investigate the current position before advising on the potential recovery.

What if I do not have the original share certificates?

Missing certificates do not always prevent a claim. The case may require additional verification through company, registrar and historic shareholder records before ownership can be established.

Can heirs recover shares belonging to someone who has died?

Yes, but inherited holdings can involve transmission and succession requirements as well as the underlying recovery. We coordinate the connected legal and shareholder work as one case.

Can Asset Tracers Global help if I live outside India?

Yes. A significant part of our work involves overseas shareholders and heirs who need specialist support navigating Indian institutions, documentation and professional advisers from abroad.
