Paisalo Digital Limited has informed its shareholders regarding the transfer of unclaimed dividends and corresponding equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. The company stated that the final dividend for the financial year 2018-19, which has remained unclaimed for a period of seven years, is scheduled to be credited to the IEPF on September 16, 2026. This action is being taken pursuant to the provisions of Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the relevant IEPF rules.
Transfer Details
The transfer applies to the final dividend declared for FY 2018-19 that has not been claimed or encashed for seven or more consecutive years. In addition to the dividend amount, the corresponding equity shares on which these dividends remained unclaimed will also be transferred to the IEPF Authority. The company has already sent individual notices to all concerned shareholders whose shares are liable for this transfer.
Impact on Shareholders
Shareholders holding shares in physical form will have their duplicate share certificates cancelled and transferred to the IEPF Authority. For those holding shares in electronic form, the demat accounts will be debited for the shares liable for transfer. The company has clarified that no claim will lie against it once the transfer is completed.
Claim Process and Deadline
To avoid the transfer, shareholders must ensure that a valid claim is received by the company on or before September 11, 2026. If no claim is received by this date, the company will proceed to transfer the liable dividend and equity shares to the IEPF Authority without further notice. Shareholders can subsequently claim the shares and dividends from the IEPF Authority by submitting an application in Form IEPF-5 online after obtaining an entitlement letter from the company.
