Name Correction in Records
Mismatched names can block your dividends and corporate benefits. We help correct your name across company registers, share certificates, and KYC records to ensure seamless transactions.
Errors in your name on a share certificate or company records can lead to major complications during transfer, dematerialization, or dividend claims. Whether your name is misspelled, incomplete, changed after marriage, or legally modified, it is essential to get it corrected officially.
At Share Recovery Expert, we help investors with complete end-to-end name correction, joint holder name corrections, affidavits, and RTA coordination to ensure your shares are recognized under the correct identity.
What Is Shareholder Name Correction?
Shareholder Name Correction refers to the process of updating or rectifying the name of a shareholder in a company’s records due to:
- Spelling errors
- Name change after marriage
- Short name vs. full name issues
- Clerical mistakes by the company or RTA
- Name mismatch with PAN/Aadhaar
Once corrected, the company issues a corrected endorsement or a new share certificate with the updated name.
Why Is Name Correction Important?
Incorrect name details can cause:
- Demat Rejection: Depositories reject demat requests if names do not match PAN/Aadhaar.
- Transfer & Transmission Problems: Share transfers cannot be processed with mismatched names.
- Dividend Issues: Dividends may fail or get stuck in IEPF due to name mismatch.
- IEPF Claim Delays: IEPF refunds require a perfect match of name across documents.
- Legal Problems for Heirs: Nominees and legal heirs cannot claim shares smoothly.
Correcting the name ensures smooth operation and complete compliance.
