Nominee cases vs legal heir cases
A nominee route is often more direct, while legal heir cases may require succession-related documents and additional verification.
Physical shares and old folio issues
If the shares are old physical holdings, the family may need to locate certificates, folio details, or registrar references before transmission can move ahead.
What happens after transmission
After the shares are transmitted, the next step may involve demat conversion, dividend follow-up, or even an IEPF-related recovery route in older cases.
Detailed FAQs
Can a legal heir claim shares without a nominee?
Yes, but the process usually becomes more document-intensive and may require heirship, succession, or probate-related support.
Is transmission required before an IEPF claim in heir cases?
In many cases, proof connected to transmission becomes part of the IEPF recovery path for a deceased shareholder.
Can old family-held physical shares still be transmitted?
Yes. The route may be slower, but old physical holdings can often still be processed with the right papers.
