Birla Corporation Limited has formally intimated stock exchanges about the launch of the Second 100-day Campaign — "Saksham Niveshak" — running from April 1, 2026 to July 9, 2026. The initiative has been undertaken in compliance with a directive issued by the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), Ministry of Corporate Affairs, vide its communication dated March 27, 2026, and in line with SEBI Master Circular HO/38/13/(4)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/4298/2026 dated February 6, 2026. The campaign is aimed at reaching out to shareholders whose dividends remain unpaid or unclaimed, and encouraging them to take timely action to safeguard their investments.
Campaign Objectives
The Saksham Niveshak campaign has been designed with multiple objectives to protect shareholder interests and ensure regulatory compliance. The key purposes of the campaign are outlined below:
- Update shareholder KYC, bank details, and contact information
- Expedite processing of dividend claims and related requests
- Prevent transfer of unpaid or unclaimed dividends and corresponding shares to the IEPFA

The dividend amount will be credited only after the required information and documents are submitted.
