Unclaimed Mutual Fund Money and Bank Deposits Total Over Rs 1 Lakh Crore in India
Unclaimed financial assets in India have grown significantly, with mutual funds holding Rs 3,811 crore and bank deposits totaling nearly Rs 98,073 crore as of early 2026. These unclaimed amounts arise mainly due to outdated investor or account holder details, forgotten accounts, or the death of owners. Authorities like SEBI and RBI maintain mechanisms for claimants to recover these funds, emphasizing that unclaimed money is not lost but requires updated information and proper claims.
