Hero MotoCorp has sent reminder letters to shareholders who have not encashed their Final Dividend for FY 2018-19. Under Section 124(5) of the Companies Act, 2013, unpaid dividends remaining unclaimed for seven years must be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Additionally, under Section 124(6), shares corresponding to such unclaimed dividends for seven consecutive years will also be transferred to the IEPF Authority's Demat account. The deadline to claim is August 20, 2026 — after this date, the company will initiate transfer of both the dividend amount and eligible shares to IEPF. The company also encourages shareholders to participate in the 'Saksham Niveshak' campaign (April 1 to July 9, 2026) focused on KYC updation. Physical shareholders are urged to dematerialise their shares and update KYC details, as dividend payments are now processed only via electronic mode.
This is a routine regulatory compliance disclosure with no direct impact on the company's financial performance or stock price. Affected shareholders who do not claim by the deadline will lose dividend entitlements and see their shares transferred to IEPF, after which claims can only be made through the IEPF Authority portal.
