CM urges residents to claim ₹3,210cr in unclaimed funds

Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday urged residents to check for unclaimed funds linked to their bank accounts, fixed deposits, insurance policies, shares and mutual fund investments, and to visit designated camps to retrieve what she called "rightful earnings long lost to time".

Gupta, speaking at the "Aapki Poonji, Aapka Adhikaar (Your Money, Your Right)" camp at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre, said the initiative restores not just money, but dignity.

"This is not just the recovery of common funds - it is the restoration of rights, fulfilment of justice, and affirmation of your entitlements. So far, we have returned about ₹85 crore to their rightful owners, and we will continue the efforts to return people's assets." she said.

She added that many of these funds were once earned through years of hard work by common people and had been left unclaimed due to lack of awareness, death or outdated documentation.
