Gallantt Ispat has notified shareholders to claim unclaimed final dividends for FY 2018-19 by September 30, 2026, to avoid the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). The company stated that dividends remaining unpaid for seven years and shares in respect of which dividend has not been claimed for seven consecutive years are liable to be transferred to the IEPF under the Companies Act, 2013.
The company has sent individual communications to concerned shareholders at their registered addresses. Shareholders are advised to claim the outstanding dividends by the specified deadline. If the dividends are not claimed by September 30, 2026, the entire equity shares related to the unclaimed amounts will be transferred to the IEPF without further notice. Once transferred, no claim will lie against the company regarding these shares.
For shares held in physical form that are due for transfer to the IEPF, the company will issue new share certificates in lieu of the originals. Upon issuance, the original share certificates will stand automatically cancelled and be deemed non-negotiable. Shareholders may reclaim both the unclaimed dividend and the transferred shares from the IEPF Authority by following the procedures laid down under the relevant rules.
