The campaign, launched with effect from April 1, 2026, represents a continuation of earlier initiatives aimed at investor education, awareness, and facilitation.
Campaign Objectives and Framework
The IEPF Authority, under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, has designed this expanded campaign to focus specifically on shareholders whose dividends remain unclaimed. The initiative aligns with the broader framework of Niveshak Shivir and aims to enhance shareholder engagement while simplifying processes for investors.
| Campaign Objective | Description |
|---|---|
| Dividend Claims | Facilitating shareholders in claiming unpaid or unclaimed dividends and shares |
| Direct Payments | Enabling direct payment of unclaimed dividends to rightful shareholders |
| KYC Updation | Promoting updation of Know Your Customer and other relevant details |
| Investor Protection | Strengthening awareness to prevent transfer of unpaid dividends to IEPF |
Requirements for Physical Shareholders
Shareholders holding physical shares must update their details including PAN, nomination details, contact information, postal address, mobile number, bank account details, and specimen signature. The company has specified that shareholders whose folios are not updated with required documents will have their dividend amounts withheld.
Mandatory Forms and Documentation
Physical shareholders need to submit specific forms to the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent, Adroit Corporate Services Private Limited:

The company has clarified the timeline for dividend claims. Members can claim unpaid or unclaimed dividend amounts for the financial year 2018-19 and thereafter by sending requests to Adroit Corporate Services Private Limited. However, unpaid dividends for financial year 2017-18 and earlier have already been transferred to IEPF, requiring claimants to file Form IEPF-5 directly with the IEPF Authority through the MCA portal.
