Need to Duplicate Share Certificates:
What will you do if you lose an important document such as your Share Certificate? It can prove to be a nightmare as there are chances of the document being misused, leading to a huge financial loss. If you have lost or misplaced your share certificates of any company, you need to immediately inform the police and respective company, of which you had the shares. You must need to quote the folio number and details of share certificates to the company for their reference. When a company receives an intimation that you have lost the shares, the folio number or the details provided to the company are frozen in lieu of the lost one. This is done by the company to prevent any fraud or transfer of shares.

Hi Deepika,
In case of loss of share certificate, should the company pay stamp duty again for value of shares again? I understand we pay stamp duty for Affidavit & Indemnity bond. I want to know for the value of shares.
In your case, Company will issue duplicate share certificate in the name of Mr. Raja. After it, Mr. raja can transfer his shares to HUF.
Thank You Deepika for the nice writeup.
I have a query-
If- Mr Raja- a member of HUF holds certificates in his personel name, how it can be transferred to HUF’s name.
Regards
