I live abroad. Can I still claim shares held in India?
The short answer
Yes. Living outside India does not affect entitlement. It affects process.
Documents signed abroad generally need attestation before they will be accepted in India, and the form of attestation depends on the country you are in. Getting that wrong is the single most common reason an overseas claim is returned — which is why establishing the right route before anything is signed matters more here than in a domestic case.
