SEBI Circular Enables Special Window

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued circular HO/38/13/11/2026-MIRSD-POD/13750/2026 dated January 30, 2026, allowing the opening of another special window to facilitate transfer and dematerialization of shares held in physical form for a period of one year.

Window Details and Eligibility

The special window will remain open from February 5, 2026 to February 4, 2027, providing shareholders with a full year to complete their transfer requests. The facility is specifically designed for investors whose transfer deeds were executed prior to April 1, 2019 but were either not lodged for transfer or were lodged but subsequently rejected or returned due to deficiency in documents, provided their original share certificates are available.

Exclusions and Restrictions

Certain categories of shares are not eligible for this facility. Securities already transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) cannot be re-lodged through this window. Additionally, shares involving disputes between transferor and transferee are excluded from this facility.

Shareholders wishing to avail this opportunity must submit necessary original transfer documents, along with corrected or missing details and other requisite documents to the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited (formerly Link Intime India Private Limited). The registrar's office is located at Noble Heights, 1st Floor, Plot No. NH 2, C-1 Block, LSC, Near Sawitri Market, Janakpuri, New Delhi-110058.

Important Conditions

Shares re-lodged for transfer will be issued only in demat form and will remain under lock-in for a period of one year from the date of registration of transfer. During this lock-in period, the shares cannot be transferred, pledged, or marked under lien. This condition ensures compliance with regulatory requirements while providing shareholders with the facility to complete their transfer processes.
