Rattan Dillon, a car enthusiast from Chandigarh, recently found physical copies of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) shares from 1988 while cleaning his home. Originally bought at ₹10 per share, the 30 equity shares belonged to a deceased family member who was unfamiliar with the stock market.
The Shocking Valuation
Curious about their current worth, Rattan sought advice from social media users. One user calculated that, after multiple stock splits and bonuses, the original 30 shares had grown to 960, now valued between ₹11–12 lakh. This revelation led to a flood of reactions online.
Internet Reacts with Jokes and Advice
Social media users were quick to offer both financial advice and humorous takes. Some suggested immediately converting the shares to a digital Demat account, while others joked about searching the house for more hidden investments, like MRF shares. One user even called it a “lottery win.”
The Next Steps
Several users guided Rattan on how to redeem the shares, explaining that he would need to submit proof and visit the company’s office for verification. With the process laid out, it seems Rattan is well on his way to claiming his unexpected fortune.
