Unclaimed Funds and How to Claim Them

PM Modi highlighted that Indian banks hold ₹78,000 crore in unclaimed deposits, insurance companies nearly ₹14,000 crore, mutual funds around ₹3,000 crore, and dividends worth ₹9,000 crore remain unclaimed.

To make it easier for citizens to trace and claim their unclaimed funds, the government has set up dedicated portals for different types of financial assets:

  • UDGAM Portal (RBI): For unclaimed bank deposits and balances.

  • Bima Bharosa Portal (IRDAI): For unclaimed insurance proceeds.

  • MITRA Portal (SEBI): For unclaimed mutual fund amounts.

  • IEPFA Portal (MCA): For unpaid dividends and unclaimed shares.

Rs 2,000 Crore Returned to Citizens Through Coordinated Efforts

By December 2025, PM Modi said, facilitation camps had been held in 477 districts across rural and urban India, including remote areas. He noted that “through the coordinated efforts of all stakeholders, notably the government, regulatory bodies, banks and other financial institutions, nearly Rs 2,000 crore has already been returned to the rightful owners.”

Looking ahead, he urged citizens to participate by checking for unclaimed deposits, insurance proceeds, dividends, or investments, visiting the relevant portals, and using facilitation camps in their districts.
