I Lost My Share Certificate. Do I Still Own the Stock?

A share certificate serves as proof of a shareholder's ownership of company shares, acting as primary evidence of their title. In cases of loss or misplacement, the company will issue a duplicate share certificate. Losing a share certificate can result in significant financial loss to both the shareholder and the company. To prevent such losses, the Companies Act, 2013, outlines the issuance of duplicate share certificates under Section 46 and Rule 6(2)(a) to (c) of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014.
