The unclaimed redemption amount increased 10% from Rs 1,024 crore in March 2024 to Rs 1,128 crore in March 2025. Unclaimed dividend amounts saw a bigger jump, rising 26% from Rs 1,838 crore in March 2024 to Rs 2,324 crore in March 2025. This growing pile of unclaimed wealth reflects not just investor negligence but als structural issues that need attention.
