Duplicate Share Certificate Service in India

What is a Duplicate Share Certificate?

If your physical share certificate is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must apply for a duplicate share certificate through the company’s Registrar & Transfer Agent (RTA).

✔ Why Is It Important?

  • Without a duplicate certificate, you cannot sell, transfer, or dematerialise your shares.

  • SEBI requires all physical shares to be converted into demat; without a valid certificate, you may lose your investments.

  • If not reported on time, someone else could misuse your lost share certificate.
