I have never purchased NSC in my life and hence can not offer any advice. But regarding my other documents, I always maintain a xerox copy of the same and also scan copy in my laptop as well as in pen drive. Since you have none with what reference you will fight and convince postal authorities that your claim is authentic. Xerox copies would have been good evidence to trace them or request for duplicate on chargeable terms. GOD bless you and wish you all the bests. more
