KIN~UNKNOWN
Many investors and families discover, often years later, that their valuable shares have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) due to inactivity or unclaimed dividends. For NRIs and heirs, this can feel like losing a part of their financial legacy. Abbott India shares, known for their strong performance and credibility in the healthcare sector, are among the most commonly transferred to IEPF.
