Recovery from Investor Education And Protection Fund

To protect investors' interests and promote awareness, IEPF was established under Section 125 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act'). All unpaid dividends or unclaimed amounts belonging to a company's investors are pooled and credited into the IEPF. The IEPF Authority will utilise and spend the money of the IEPF funds only for the purposes mentioned in the Act. The Comptroller and Auditor-General of India will audit the accounts of the IEPF.

What are the uses of this Fund?

> To issue refunds in respect of unclaimed dividends, matured deposits, matured debentures, to the people who have genuine case.
> To promote investors’ education, protection and awareness
> To make payment to the shareholders or debenture holders, or depositors who have suffered losses due to wrong actions by any Company, as directed by Courts
> To reimbursement of legal expenses as incurred by shareholders or debenture holders, or depositors who have suffered losses due to wrong actions by any Company
Thus, it is clear that Government’s is just holding these shares on behalf of the shareholders and they are to be transferred to the person who has a genuine claim for the investment. It is specifically written in the act that the prime use of this fund will be to refund money to the Investors. Until then Government continues to enjoy the fund.

Transfer of shares means the voluntary handing over of the rights and possibly, the duties of a company member (as represented in a share of the company). The rights and duties of the share transfer happen from a shareholder who wishes to not be a member of the company any more to a person who wishes of becoming a member. Thus, shares in a company are transferable like any other movable property in the absence of any expressed restrictions under the articles of the company. Investors may face many problems like transferor signature mismatch, torn/mutilated share certificates, non-submission of transfer deed etc. while transferring shares.
