Key Benefits for Shareholders
The campaign emphasizes the mandatory nature of updating shareholder information to ensure seamless dividend payments. All shareholders are required to update their PAN details, nomination information, contact details including postal address and mobile number, bank account details, and specimen signature with the Registrar & Share Transfer Agent or their Depository Participant for shares held in electronic form.
Since dividend payments are processed exclusively through electronic mode, amounts will be credited to shareholders' bank accounts only after the required details and documents are properly updated with the relevant authorities.
Action Required for Physical Shareholders
Shareholders holding shares in physical form who have not claimed their dividends must submit specific documentation. The company strongly advises these shareholders to dematerialize their shares at the earliest opportunity.
| Required Forms: | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Form ISR-1: | KYC details with self-attested documents |
| Form ISR-2: | Bank details with banker's attestation |
| Form SH-13: | Nomination registration |
| Form ISR-3: | Opting out of nomination |
These forms are available for download from the company's website at punjabchemicals.com/dividend-shareholders-information/. Completed forms should be submitted to the company's Registrar & Share Transfer Agent, Alankit Assignments Limited, located at 1E/13, Alankit Heights, Jhandewalan Extension, New Delhi – 110055.
Requirements for Demat Shareholders
Shareholders holding shares in dematerialized form are advised to ensure their KYC details are updated with their respective Depository Participant. This update is essential for enabling timely receipt of dividend payments and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
Prevention of IEPF Transfer
The campaign serves a critical purpose in preventing the transfer of unclaimed dividends and corresponding shares to the IEPF Authority. By encouraging shareholders to actively update their information and claim pending dividends, the initiative helps protect shareholder interests and ensures proper distribution of corporate benefits. Company Secretary Rishu Chatley has officially communicated this initiative to stock exchanges, emphasizing the importance of shareholder participation in the campaign.
