Dear Sir,

Your queries about IEPF Refund / IEPf Claim / IEPF Recovery are answered below:

1) In case of Joint holder - First holder to make claim in the IEPF Form 5. But all the holders need to sign the Indemnity Bond/Advance Receipt/IEPF Form 5.

2) The amount of Stamp duty to be paid for the Indemnity Bond should be Rs. 500/-.

3) Aadhar linked account is different from Demat linked account - You need to update Aadhaar details in the bank account linked to the DEMAT Account. Although linking of bank account with Aadhaar has been done away with after the recent Supreme Court judgement, but the IEPF Authority hasn't come out with any clarification.

For any other queries go through www.iepfclaim.in
