Physical Share Certificates
End-to-end help with old paper share certificates: verification, duplicate issue for lost certificates, and conversion.
Many families have old share certificates lying in a cupboard or locker, sometimes for decades. The company may have changed its name, merged, split its shares or moved to a new registrar since then. We help you find out what those certificates are worth today and take the right steps to bring them back into your control.
This service is for you if…
- You found old share certificates at home and don't know if they are still valid
- Your certificates are lost, torn, or damaged and you need duplicates
- The company has merged, changed its name, or been acquired
- You want to sell or transfer shares that are still on paper
Where cases usually get stuck
- Identifying the current company, registrar (RTA) and share value for very old certificates
- Duplicate issue for lost, stolen, or mutilated certificates
- Bonus shares, splits and mergers that were never tracked
- Updating KYC, address, bank and nomination details with the RTA
- Certificates held jointly where one holder has passed away
Your document checklist
- Original share certificates (or copies / folio numbers, if available)
- PAN card and Aadhaar card of every holder
- Cancelled cheque or recent bank statement
- Client Master List (CML) of your demat account
- For lost certificates: police complaint / FIR copy and an affidavit with indemnity
- Any old letters, dividend warrants or company correspondence
This is a general list and may vary by case, company and RTA. We'll give you an exact checklist after reviewing your documents.

Questions about Physical Shares
Often, yes. Old certificates usually still represent real shares, even if the company has changed its name or merged. The first step is to identify the current company and registrar and check the status of your folio.
