Helpage Finlease Limited has opened a special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of physical shares, effective from February 5, 2026 to February 4, 2027. This initiative follows SEBI Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/1/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026, and aims to address pending transfer requests and facilitate the conversion of physical securities into electronic form.
The special window is available for transfer and dematerialisation of physical shares that were sold or purchased prior to April 1, 2019. It also covers requests submitted earlier that were rejected, returned, or not attended to due to deficiencies in documentation or processes. Shareholders must ensure that requests are accompanied by original share certificates along with transfer deeds and other supporting documents to be considered under this window.
Eligibility Criteria
To determine eligibility for the special window, the company has provided a matrix outlining the conditions under which requests can be lodged. The applicability depends on whether the transfer was lodged before April 1, 2019, and the availability of the original share certificate.
| Lodged for transfer before April 1, 2019? | Is Original Share Certificate Available? | Whether Eligible to lodge in the Special Window? |
|---|---|---|
| No- It is fresh Lodgement | Yes | Yes |
| Yes- It was rejected / returned earlier | Yes | Yes |
| Yes | No | No |
| No | No | No |
Lock-in Period and Compliance
Securities transferred under this special window will be mandatorily credited to the transferee only in dematerialised form. These securities will be subject to a lock-in period of one year from the date of registration of transfer, during which they cannot be transferred, pledged, or lien marked.
Shareholders holding securities in physical form are advised to update their KYC details and convert their holdings to dematerialised form to eliminate risks associated with physical certificates. For further details or queries, investors may contact the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Beetal Financial & Computer Services (P) Ltd., or refer to the circular available on the company's website.
