Newspaper Publication of notice to the shareholders for transfer of Equity Shares of the Company and Unpaid / Unclaimed Final Dividend for FY 2017-18 to Investor Education and Protection ....
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
The company has published a newspaper notice to its shareholders about the upcoming transfer of equity shares and unclaimed final dividend for FY 2017-18 to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Under Indian regulations, shares whose dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years, along with those unpaid dividends, are moved to the IEPF. This is a routine compliance filing as required under the Companies Act, 2013 and IEPF Rules. Shareholders who have not claimed their FY 2017-18 dividend are being given a final chance to do so before the transfer happens. Once the shares and dividend are transferred to the IEPF, shareholders can still reclaim them, but the process is more involved and time-consuming.
Shareholders with unclaimed dividends from FY 2017-18 or whose shares may be due for IEPF transfer should act quickly to file a claim. Failure to claim before the deadline means losing easy access to the shares/dividend, though IEPF recovery is still possible later through a formal application.
