Oriental Hotels Limited has informed its shareholders regarding the opening of a special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities. This initiative is in accordance with SEBI Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/13750/2026 dated January 30, 2026. The special window is available for a period of one year, commencing on February 5, 2026, and concluding on February 4, 2027.
The facility is designed to facilitate the transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities that were sold or purchased prior to April 1, 2019. Additionally, the window is applicable to transfer requests that were submitted earlier but were rejected, returned, or not attended to due to deficiencies in documentation or processes. The company has clarified that this window applies to instances permitted under the applicability defined in the aforementioned SEBI circular.
During this special window, securities that are transferred will be mandatorily credited to the transferee only in dematerialised mode. Furthermore, these securities will be subject to a lock-in period of one year from the date of registration of the transfer. Consequently, such securities cannot be transferred, lien-marked, or pledged during the specified lock-in period. The company has noted that cases involving disputes between the transferor and transferee, as well as securities transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), will not be considered under this window.
Eligible shareholders are required to submit their requests along with the requisite documents mentioned in the circular. These submissions must be made to the company or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), M/s Integrated Registry Management Private Limited, within the stipulated period. The company has urged shareholders to utilise this opportunity to update their holdings and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
In case of any queries, shareholders have been advised to raise a service request with the RTA via email at Einward@IntegratedIndia.in or contact the company directly at ohlshares.mad@tajhotels.com . The detailed SEBI circular regarding this special window has been uploaded on the company's website under the investor support section.
