Got unclaimed money? New government portal helps you find hidden financial assets
The Department of Financial Services (DFS), under the Ministry of Finance, has launched the Common Landing Portal for Unclaimed Financial Assets, a new initiative aimed at helping citizens locate and reclaim unclaimed financial assets more easily.
Developed in collaboration with PSB Alliance, the portal is accessible at www.unclaimedassetsportal.in and serves as a unified platform that provides access to search facilities for unclaimed bank deposits, insurance claims, shares, dividends, and mutual funds across the financial ecosystem.
The portal was launched by Secretary, Department of Financial Services, Shri M. Nagaraju, during a review meeting of Public Sector Banks held on May 29, 2026.
Highlighting the significance of the initiative, Shri Nagaraju said the portal would enhance citizen convenience by bringing multiple search facilities under one roof, making it easier for individuals to trace and recover their rightful financial assets.
The Common Landing Portal represents a significant step toward creating a more accessible, transparent, and citizen-centric financial ecosystem. By simplifying access to information on unclaimed assets, the initiative is expected to boost public awareness, improve financial inclusion, and strengthen trust in the financial system.
The government said the platform aligns with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 by promoting greater financial empowerment and ensuring that citizens can more effectively reconnect with their unclaimed wealth.
