Step-by-Step Process for Reclaiming Prestige Estates Shares via IEPF
1. Eligibility
• Shares transferred to IEPF: If dividends remain unclaimed for 7 consecutive years, the company transfers both dividends and underlying shares to IEPF Authority.
• Who can claim: The original shareholder, or legal heirs/representatives in case of death.
2. Filing the Claim
• Form IEPF-5: Download and fill from the MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) website.
• Mandatory details: PAN, Aadhaar, bank account, demat account, and contact details.
• Supporting documents:
• Copy of acknowledgment of IEPF-5
• Original share certificates (if physical)
• Indemnity bond and advance stamped receipt
• Proof of entitlement (dividend warrants, transaction statements)
3. Submission
• Send the filled form and documents to Prestige Estates Projects Ltd.’s Nodal Officer (Company Secretary/Compliance Officer).

⚠️ Risks & Considerations
