Shareholder Compliance and Physical Share Transfers
To participate in the AGM or receive dividends electronically, shareholders must maintain updated Know Your Customer (KYC) details. Demat holders should update email IDs, mobile numbers, and bank details with their Depository Participants. Physical shareholders must submit Form ISR-1 to the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited. Failure to update details may result in withheld dividend payments due to RBI mandates for electronic disbursement.
Additionally, a special one-year window for transferring physical securities purchased or sold prior to April 1, 2019, remains open from February 5, 2026, to February 4, 2027. This initiative addresses pending transfer requests rejected due to document deficiencies, aiming to reduce outstanding physical shares and enhance transfer efficiency.
