Century Enka Limited has issued a public notice through newspaper advertisements published on May 6, 2026, informing shareholders about the impending transfer of equity shares to the Demat Account of the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. The advertisement was published in Business Standard (All Editions) and Loksatta (Pune Edition), and the filing was submitted to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The intimation was signed by Rahul Dubey, Vice President – Legal & Company Secretary.
IEPF Transfer: Regulatory Background
Pursuant to Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Auditing, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, equity shares on which dividends have not been paid or claimed for seven consecutive years or more are mandatorily required to be transferred to the IEPF Suspense Account — a fund established by the Government of India under Section 125 of the Companies Act, 2013. Century Enka has individually communicated to all concerned shareholders whose shares are liable to be transferred to the IEPF Suspense Account.
Dividends Lying Unpaid or Unclaimed
Century Enka has identified shareholders who have not encashed dividend warrants for seven consecutive years or more. The shares relate to dividends declared from the financial year 2018-19 and for subsequent consecutive years, which have remained unpaid or unclaimed and are liable to be transferred to the IEPF Suspense Account. The following dividend periods are covered:
| Dividend Period: | Status |
|---|---|
| Final Dividend For the Year 2018-2019 | Unpaid / Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend For the Year 2019-2020 | Unpaid / Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend For the Year 2020-2021 | Unpaid / Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend For the Year 2021-2022 | Unpaid / Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend For the Year 2022-2023 | Unpaid / Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend For the Year 2023-2024 | Unpaid / Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend For the Year 2024-2025 | Unpaid / Unclaimed |
Shareholders are urged to claim their unpaid or unclaimed dividends on or before August 3, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the transfer of the associated equity shares to the IEPF Suspense Account. The list of shareholders whose shares are due for transfer is available on the company's website at https://www.centuryenka.com .
Reclaiming Shares from IEPF
Once shares are transferred to the IEPF Suspense Account, shareholders retain the right to reclaim them along with dividends by following the detailed procedure available at www.iepf.gov.in . The IEPF Authority has also launched the "Saksham Niveshak – 100 Days Campaign" to create investor awareness and assist in the resolution of issues related to unclaimed dividends and shares, including updation of KYC and nomination details.
