In a massive push toward absolute financial transparency and citizen empowerment, the Department of Financial Services (DFS) under the Ministry of Finance has launched the Common Landing Portal for Unclaimed Financial Assets. Developed in close collaboration with the PSB Alliance, this unified online platform acts as a one-stop interface where citizens can effortlessly trace and track forgotten or unclaimed wealth across the entire financial ecosystem. Individuals can now search a single centralized database to uncover hidden assets that may have been lost to time, including dormant bank deposits, unclaimed insurance policies, mature mutual funds, corporate shares, and unpaid dividends.
The digital initiative serves as the core technological backbone for the government’s nationwide awareness campaign, “आपकी पूँजी, आपका अधिकार” (Your Money, Your Right). Formally unveiled by DFS Secretary M. Nagaraju during a review meeting of public sector banks, the portal is designed to eliminate the exhausting process of navigating multiple institutional websites. By drastically simplifying asset tracing, the platform aims to enhance public convenience, foster deeper financial inclusion, and reinforce institutional trust. Officials emphasize that the system marks an essential milestone in building an accessible, transparent, and citizen-centric environment, fundamentally ensuring that families and rightful legal heirs are swiftly reconnected with their hard-earned financial legacies.
