Century Enka Limited has issued a reminder letter to its shareholders under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, informing them about equity shares that are liable to be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). The intimation, filed on May 4, 2026 and signed by Rahul Dubey, Vice President – Legal & Company Secretary, was submitted to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited.
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 Authority Account — a fund established by the Government of India under Section 125 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Dividends Lying Unpaid or Unclaimed
Century Enka has identified shareholders who have not encashed dividend warrants for the last seven consecutive years. The reminder letter covers unpaid or unclaimed dividends across the following financial years:
| 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 Authority Account.
Reclaiming Shares from IEPF
Once shares are transferred to the IEPF, shareholders retain the right to reclaim them by filing e-form No. IEPF-5 with the IEPF Authorities, as prescribed under the applicable rules. 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.
KYC Updation: SEBI Mandate
In line with SEBI Circulars bearing reference nos. SEBI/HO/MIRSD/POD-1/P/CIR/2023/181 dated November 17, 2023 and SEBI/HO/MIRSD/MIRSD-PoD-1/P/OR/2023/37 dated March 16, 2023 (now rescinded following the issuance of the Master Circular dated May 17, 2023), updation of KYC details has been made mandatory.
