Basis for Transfer

Under Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and Schedule VI of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, ordinary shares in respect of which dividend has not been paid or claimed for seven consecutive years or more are required to be transferred to the DEMAT account of the IEPF Authority.

In case no communication is received from the shareholders concerned by 30th August 2026, the company shall take necessary steps in accordance with the IEPF Rules to transfer the said shares to the IEPF Authority without further notice.
