Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited has informed the stock exchanges regarding the transfer of unclaimed equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. The disclosure was made in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company published a notice to shareholders in newspapers on May 22, 2026, detailing the upcoming transfer of shares for which dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years.

The transfer is mandated under Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the associated rules governing the IEPF. Shares are liable to be transferred if the dividend has not been paid or claimed by shareholders for seven consecutive years. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited has stated that it has already communicated with the concerned shareholders at their registered addresses and uploaded the details of unclaimed dividends and shares liable for transfer on its website.

Dividend Details and Timeline

The company has specified the dividend year and the critical dates shareholders must observe. The final dividend for the financial year 2018-2019 is currently subject to this transfer process. Shareholders are advised to verify their details on the company's website to ensure their holdings are not affected.

Shareholder Action Required

Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends during the stipulated period are urged to submit an application in the prescribed format available on the company's website. This application must be submitted to the company or its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), KFintech Limited, on or before September 28, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the compulsory transfer of the unclaimed shares to the IEPF Authority by the due date without further notice.

For shareholders holding shares in physical form, the company will issue new share certificates for the purpose of dematerialization and transfer, rendering the original certificates non-negotiable. For demat holders, the transfer will occur via corporate action through depositories. The company emphasized that all future benefits accruing to these shares will also be transferred to the IEPF Authority. Shareholders can subsequently claim back the shares and dividends from the IEPF Authority by submitting e-Form IEPF-5 on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website.
