When a shareholder applies to the company for issue of duplicate dividend warrant as he has lost/misplaced the original dividend warrant or if it's stolen, then the company will ask for some documents from him in support of this viz. police FIR copy, affidavit / indemnity bond, undertaking letter, photocopy of original warrant, identity and address proofs of the shareholder.
In a letter of undertaking, the shareholder undertakes to pay the company in the future all the expenses or losses suffered by the company or make good the claims in connection with the duplicate dividend warrant issued to him.
Example: (1) Suppose, someone else finds and encashes the original dividend warrant, then the company suffers loss for it. (2) Suppose, the shareholder is lying about losing the original dividend warrant and encashes it later on. In these cases, the company upon knowing about this will ask the shareholder to pay back the additional amount paid to him.
Hereunder is a format of such a letter of undertaking for your reference. Please contact the company and clarify the procedure before going ahead.
