I have lost part of the Share certificates and part Share certificate is with me. I submitted all the documents required by the registrar Kfintech ltd., for ICICI bank ltd Ltd., which also included the attested death certificate of the first holder along with True Copy of Affidavit of mismatch of name.
All the documents were returned to me saying they wanted an FIR Copy which they did not mention earlier correspondence. Secondly they are asking for the original Affidavit for name mis match. Why is a true copy not accepted? And when I applied for duplicate share certificate why did they not mention the same in the earlier letters?
