Do I need to locate my missing HDFC shares?

[Taarush]

I have this old photocopy of my HDFC shares, but they aren’t showing up in my ICICI demat account. Should I reach out to the registrar to see if they have already been dematerialized or moved? How can I check the folio details against NSDL or CDSL records?

Don't worry, those shares aren't lost. Call or email HDFC's RTA with your folio number, and they can verify your information. You can check your consolidated statement (e-CAS) with your PAN to see if it's linked to your name. If you have physical certificates, submit a demat request (DRF) through your broker or bank to transfer them to your electronic portfolio.
