Kirloskar Brothers Limited has officially communicated to stock exchanges about its active participation in the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority's second 100-day campaign, 'Saksham Niveshak,' designed to help shareholders claim their unclaimed dividends before statutory transfer to the government fund.

Official Campaign Launch and Timeline

The IEPF Authority launched the second phase of the 'Saksham Niveshak' campaign through an official email communication dated March 27, 2026. The comprehensive campaign runs from April 1, 2026, to July 9, 2026, specifically targeting shareholders whose dividends remain unpaid or unclaimed across multiple financial years.

This initiative follows the successful first 100-day campaign conducted from July 28, 2025, to November 6, 2025, as mandated by the IEPF Authority through its circular dated July 16, 2025.

Company's Proactive Shareholder Engagement

During the first campaign, Kirloskar Brothers Limited demonstrated exceptional commitment to shareholder welfare by implementing multiple outreach initiatives. The company dispatched physical communications to 1,746 shareholders in June 2025, specifically targeting unpaid and unclaimed dividend claims while simultaneously requesting Know Your Customer (KYC) detail updates for regulatory compliance.

The company also enhanced investor awareness by placing e-banners on its corporate website and filing comprehensive action taken reports with both BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

Current Campaign Implementation Strategy

For the second 'Saksham Niveshak' campaign, Kirloskar Brothers Limited is executing a multi-channel communication approach. The company is dispatching both physical and email communications to investors where email addresses are registered, requesting shareholders to complete KYC registration and nominations through specific regulatory forms including ISR-1, ISR-2, SH-13, SH-14, and ISR-3.

The campaign encompasses unclaimed dividends spanning seven financial years, from FY 2018-19 to FY 2024-25, encouraging shareholders to claim these amounts before mandatory transfer to the IEPF.

Comprehensive Support and Contact Information

Shareholders requiring assistance with unpaid or unclaimed dividends, or needing guidance with KYC procedures, can access support through multiple dedicated channels:
