Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay government fees again when resubmitting Form IEPF-5?

No. Resubmission of Form IEPF-5 within the prescribed timeline of 15-30 days carries zero additional government fee.

What if the resubmission deadline has already passed?

If the resubmission window has lapsed, the SRN is formally closed by MCA. However, you can file a fresh Form IEPF-5 application with corrected documentation at any time without forfeiture of your share rights.
