As per reports, a whopping amount of Rs 37,300-crore is sunk in shares,insurance policies, small savings schemes, inoperative bank, demat accounts, etc and there is Rs 26, 497 crore unclaimed provident fund lying.
If you don’t claim your shares and it is lying untreated for seven years, your dividends and shares are transferred to Sebi's Investor Education and Protection Fund.
Whereas, the unclaimed deposits and money in inoperative bank accounts get transferred to the RBI's Depositor Education and Awareness Fund after 10 years.

But there are very few companies that are working to remind you of forgotten shares, as old as 25 years.
Share Samadhan is one of them that is helping people since 2011 in recovering lost holdings and investments.
