Just ensure that you wait for a fair amount of time ( 4 or 5 weeks?? ) before raising grievances, else it could be shot down.

Good news, I completed the paperwork around Jan 20th. Today, IEPF notified that the claim has been approved. Will update when the shares get credited.

Very informative thread.
Do you send the original share certificates along with the Demat request form to the company registrar?

Wow that's real fast movement by IEPF!! Congrats!! For me the "approved" status to come last year took 8 months and a further 3 more months to get the shares credited to the demat account. Looks like these guys are moving things fast now. Probably, the last couple of years, there were a lot of backlogs that got cleared I guess. And last year MCA site itself was having a lot of issues as told to me by my CA then.
