Paradeep Phosphates Limited has notified the stock exchanges regarding the opening of a special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of physical shares, which will remain available until February 4, 2027. This initiative follows SEBI Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/13750/2026 dated January 30, 2026, and the company has published newspaper advertisements in Business Line (English) and Vijaya Karnataka (Kannada) to comply with the regulatory requirements.
The special window facility is specifically designed for investors who had purchased physical shares of erstwhile Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited, which merged with Paradeep Phosphates Limited effective October 16, 2025, prior to April 1, 2019. Eligible investors include those who either did not lodge the shares for transfer or had lodged transfer requests that were rejected, returned, or not attended to due to deficiencies in documentation.
The eligibility criteria for the special window are outlined in a matrix format. Investors who have the original share certificate available are eligible to lodge requests under this window, whether they are making a fresh lodgement or re-lodging previously rejected requests. However, cases where the original share certificate is not available, or where shares have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), or where there are disputes between transferor and transferee, will not be considered under this window.
| Lodged for transfer before April 01, 2019 | Availability of Original Share Certificate | Eligibility under Special Window |
|---|---|---|
| No (fresh lodgement) | Yes | ✓ |
| Yes (rejected/returned earlier) | Yes | ✓ (subject to SEBI conditions) |
| Yes | No | ✗ |
| No | No | ✗ |
Requests accompanied by original share certificates along with transfer deeds and other supporting documents will only be considered under the Special Window. All shares re-lodged during this period will be processed through the transfer-cum-demat route, meaning they will be issued only in dematerialised form after transfer and will be subject to a one-year lock-in period.
Investors wishing to avail of this Special Window may contact the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited (formerly Link Intime India Private Limited), at Unit: Paradeep Phosphates Limited, C-101, Embassy 247, L.B.S Marg, Vikhroli West, Mumbai - 400 083, or via email at investor.helpdesk@in.mpms.mufg.com . For further details, investors may refer to the SEBI Circular.
