Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday urged people to participate in the government-initiated movement aimed at returning unclaimed assets to rightful owners.
The government launched ‘Your Money, Your Right’ campaign nationwide on October 4 to facilitate the settlement of unclaimed financial assets, including bank deposits, insurance, dividends, shares, mutual funds and pensions, to their legitimate claimants.
“Through the coordinated efforts of all stakeholders, notably the government, regulatory bodies, banks and other financial institutions, nearly ₹2,000 crore has already been returned to the rightful owners,” PM Modi said in a social media post.
“But we want to scale up this movement in the coming days,” he added, saying Indian banks are holding ₹78,000 crore of unclaimed money belonging to Indian citizens, while insurance companies have nearly ₹14,000 crore lying unclaimed.
Mutual fund companies also have around ₹3,000 crore, while dividends worth ₹9,000 crore are unclaimed, the Prime Minister informed.
For almost two months now from October to December 5, 2025, numerous camps have been held in 477 districts that saw participation by public representatives, district administrations, and officials from financial institutions.
