How can shares be claimed if a nominee was not appointed and the funds and holdings are worth less than ₹15 lakhs?

To notify and claim the shares if a nominee was not appointed and the funds and holdings are worth less than ₹15 lakhs, submit the following documents:

• Annexure 1 (PDF).
  
• Transmission Form 7.1 (PDF).
  
• Death certificate of the deceased holder. Original/ notarised/attested by a gazetted officer.
• Self-attested copy of the PAN of the successor/legal heir/applicant/deponent/claimant.
• A personalised cancelled cheque or a bank statement/passbook not older than 3 months successor(s)/Legal heirs(s). (Only applicable if the deceased bank account has a positive balance)
  
• CMR hard copy of the successor/legal heir/applicant/deponent/claimant with the DP seal and signature. If the account is with Zerodha, then a CMR is not required.
• Bond of Indemnity (BOI) (PDF) from the applicant on stamp paper. The successor/legal heir/applicant/deponent/claimant is the 1st party and Zerodha Broking LTD would be the 2nd party.
• NOC (PDF) from all the non-applicants or a notarised family settlement deed that includes all the legal heirs. NOC is not required if an individual person claims to be a successor through BOI. The non-applicants are the 1st party, and Zerodha Broking LTD would be the 2nd party.

The BOI and NOC must be provided on stamp paper. The value of the stamp depends upon the number of legal heirs, the holdings value and the funds in the deceased’s account. They are as follows:
