The threshold for availing simplified documentation for issuance of duplicate securities certificates is increased from ₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh, requiring submission of a standardised Affidavit-cum-Indemnity bond on appropriate non-judicial stamp paper, thereby reducing procedural burden for claims within this value band. For securities valued up to ₹10,000, notarisation is dispensed with and only an undertaking on plain paper is required, thereby enabling quicker low-value restitutions. For securities valued above ₹10 lakh, documentation is rationalised to additionally require an FIR/e-FIR/police complaint or specified court records containing security identifiers, and the listed company must publish a loss advertisement; processing timelines run from completion of documents or publication (whichever is later), with a minimal advertisement fee permissible. The changes apply immediately, including to pending requests, without requiring resubmission of already-filed documents.
