Century Plyboards (India) Limited has officially launched its second 100 Days campaign titled 'Saksham Niveshak', running from April 1, 2026 to July 9, 2026. The initiative follows communication from the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), Ministry of Corporate Affairs, aimed at helping shareholders claim unpaid or unclaimed dividends before transfer to the IEPF.
The company formally notified stock exchanges BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited on April 23, 2026, regarding the campaign launch. This second phase intensifies efforts to assist shareholders in updating their records and claiming rightful entitlements, thereby preventing transfer of dividends and shares to the IEPF Authority.
Campaign Objectives and Background
The campaign focuses on updating Know Your Customer (KYC) details and enhancing shareholder engagement. Prior to this initiative, the Company had been guiding shareholders through periodic reminders to claim pending dividends. The IEPFA has taken this initiative for updating KYC and other shareholder details to prevent transfer of unclaimed/unpaid dividends to IEPF.
