The Central Bank’s Announcement Released a New Way to Check Unclaimed Amounts from Closed Companies, Which Could Bring Extra Cash for Many People.
If you have a deactivated CNPJ, it might be time to check if there are any lost funds out there. This is because the Central Bank’s announcement revealed an update to the Receivable Amount System (SVR), allowing legal representatives of inactive companies to verify if there is any forgotten money waiting to be claimed. And the best part? This can all be done online, for free, and without complications.
What Changed in the System
With this update, the Receivable Amount System (SVR) has been revised to include inactive companies. This means that if you had a deactivated CNPJ, you can now access the system and check if there are amounts to be received from your former company. The process is quite simple: just have an account on Gov.br (gold or silver level) and follow the step-by-step instructions on the website.
When making the inquiry, the system will display three important pieces of information:
-
The TCU discovered that the FAB made over 100 flights with only one person on board in planes designed for 50 passengers, and the waste of public money revealed in the report surprised even the auditors.
-
War in the Middle East is making Brazil richer: the country has returned to the IMF’s global top 10 thanks to the rise in oil prices, and the projection is to surpass Russia by 2027 and Italy by 2028.
-
Resident refuses to sell house for R$ 15 million to construction company and sees luxury condominium surround his property on all sides.
-
While Congress is still discussing the end of the 6×1 schedule, major pharmacy chains, supermarkets, and clothing stores have already adopted a 5×2 schedule and report more productive and happier employees.
- Financial Institution: where the money is held;
- Approximate Amount: a range indicating how much you might receive;
- Source of the Amount: why that money is available (account balance, tax refund, etc.).
How to Claim the Funds After the Central Bank’s Announcement
Now, an important point: the Central Bank’s announcement makes it clear that the system does not make payments directly. In other words, after checking and finding the amount, the legal representative of the company will need to contact the financial institution to proceed with the redemption process.
This measure was created to ensure that the money is returned correctly and to prevent fraud. So, if you find any amount, you already know the next step: contact the bank and request instructions to withdraw the money.
Why Is This Money Forgotten?
There are several reasons why amounts may be forgotten in accounts of closed companies. The Central Bank explained some of them:
Unclaimed Balances: often, checking accounts or savings accounts of the company are closed without the balances being transferred to other banks;
Tax Refunds: overpaid taxes can generate credits, and these amounts end up getting lost over time;
Severance Payments: in some cases, severance funds may also not have been correctly claimed.
Who Can Check the Balance of the Deactivated CNPJ
To access the system, you must be the legal representative of the closed company. This ensures that only legitimate individuals can access this information. The inquiry is carried out with a Gov.br account, and a responsibility statement must be signed.
So, if you had a deactivated CNPJ, don’t waste time. The Central Bank’s announcement made it clear that these amounts are available and can be claimed. This is a great opportunity to find out if you have any forgotten money and give your budget a little boost.
