Balaji Telefilms Limited has issued reminder letters to shareholders whose dividends have remained unpaid or unclaimed for seven or more consecutive years, notifying them of an impending mandatory transfer of their shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). The disclosure was made to the stock exchanges on May 13, 2026, under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Regulatory Background and Compliance
Under Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, all shares in respect of which dividends have not been paid or claimed for seven consecutive years or more are required to be transferred to the IEPF. In line with this statutory obligation, Balaji Telefilms has identified shareholders against whom the final dividend declared for FY 2018-19 and all subsequent dividends declared and paid by the company remain unpaid or unclaimed.
Shareholder Action Required
Affected shareholders have been requested to claim their unpaid dividends and submit the requisite documents to the company or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited, on or before October 05, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the mandatory transfer of shares to IEPF without any further notice, and no claim shall lie against the company in respect of such unclaimed dividend amounts and transferred shares.
The following documents are required from shareholders holding shares in demat form:
- Self-attested copy of PAN Card and Address Proof
