Why signature mismatch happens
Older signatures may differ from current bank or KYC records, especially in long-held investments, senior-citizen cases, or old physical shareholdings.
When the issue becomes serious
Signature mismatch can affect transfer requests, duplicate certificate processes, transmission cases, and IEPF recovery documentation.
How investors usually handle it
The route often involves updated identity proof, banker verification, declarations, and whatever company- or registrar-specific process applies.
