Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited has informed the stock exchanges regarding the scheduled transfer of unclaimed and unencashed dividends, as well as eligible equity shares, to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. This action is being taken in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, and the relevant rules established thereunder.
Transfer Details
The bank stated that dividends which have remained unpaid or unclaimed for a period of seven years from the date of transfer to the unpaid dividend account are required to be transferred to the IEPF. Specifically, the dividend declared for the Financial Year 2018-19, which remains unclaimed for seven years as of the due date of August 21, 2026, will be credited to the IEPF within 30 days of this due date.
Additionally, any equity shares in respect of which the dividend has not been paid or claimed for seven consecutive years or more will also be transferred to the IEPF Authority. The transfer of these shares will occur within 30 days of the due date of August 21, 2026.
Shareholder Action Required
Kotak Mahindra Bank has requested concerned shareholders to claim their unclaimed or unencashed dividend amounts at the earliest. To facilitate the electronic remittance of these funds, shareholders must send a request letter along with any unencashed dividend warrants or a signed Letter-cum-Undertaking.
The documents must reach the bank's Registrar and Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited, on or before August 11, 2026. The address provided for this purpose is Selenium Tower B, Plot No.31-32, Gachibowli, Financial District, Nanakramguda, Hyderabad 500 032.
Post-Transfer Claims
The bank emphasized that once the unpaid dividend and eligible shares are transferred to the IEPF Authority, no claim will lie against Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited in this regard. However, shareholders retain the right to claim both the dividend amount and the shares back from the IEPF Authority. This requires submitting an online application in Web-Form IEPF-5 and sending a physical copy of the form, along with requisite documents, to the Nodal Officer at the bank's registered office or KFin Technologies Limited for verification.
