The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Limited is set to transfer unpaid dividends declared for the financial year 2018-19 and the corresponding equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) on September 18, 2026. This action follows the provisions of Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority Rules, 2016, as the dividends have remained unclaimed for seven years. The transfer will result in the automatic cancellation of original share certificates held in physical form and the debiting of shares from demat accounts.
Shareholders holding shares in electronic form have been advised to encash unclaimed dividends by submitting an application with required documents to KFin Technologies Limited, the Registrar and Transfer Agent, on or before September 4, 2026. Failure to communicate by this date will result in the Corporation proceeding with the transfer of funds and shares to the IEPF. Once transferred, no claims will lie against the Corporation regarding the dividend amount or the shares, though shareholders may subsequently apply to the IEPF authority for recovery.
In conjunction with this transfer, the Corporation has initiated the Second 100 Days Campaign titled "Saksham Niveshak", effective from April 01, 2026, to July 09, 2026. This campaign aims to assist shareholders in updating Know Your Customer (KYC) details, bank mandates, nomination information, and contact data to facilitate the claiming of unpaid dividends and prevent the transfer of shares to the IEPF. Shareholders with unclaimed dividends or those requiring updates to their details are encouraged to contact the Corporation's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent.
