Can Fin Homes has issued a final reminder to shareholders regarding the impending transfer of unclaimed dividends for the financial year 2018-19 and the corresponding shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). The unclaimed dividend amounts are due for transfer to the IEPF on August 22, 2026, under Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013. Shares associated with dividends that have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years will also be transferred to the IEPF Authority's Demat Account.
The company has requested shareholders who have not yet encashed their dividend warrants for 2019 to verify their records and submit the original warrants for revalidation. In cases where the warrants are lost, shareholders may submit a signed Letter of Declaration along with bank account particulars to the Registrar and Transfer Agents. All claims must reach Integrated Registry Management Services Private Limited on or before August 21, 2026, to ensure processing.
Transfer Process for Shareholders
The procedure for transferring shares to the IEPF differs based on the mode of holding. For shareholders holding shares in physical form, the company will issue new share certificates to replace the originals. These new certificates will be converted to Demat form and transferred to the IEPF Authority, automatically cancelling the original certificates. For shareholders with dematerialized holdings, the company will initiate a corporate action to instruct the depository to transfer the shares directly to the IEPF Authority's Demat account.
Compliance and KYC Requirements
Shareholders holding physical shares were reminded of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) circular dated May 07, 2024. This circular mandates the furnishing of PAN, nomination details, contact information, bank account particulars, and specimen signatures for physical folios. Effective April 01, 2024, dividends or interest on physical securities are paid only via electronic mode upon the complete submission of these details. Furthermore, the transfer of shares in physical form has not been permitted since April 1, 2019, and shareholders are encouraged to convert their holdings to Demat form.
