Ramkrishna Forgings Limited has set September 30, 2026, as the final date for shareholders to claim unclaimed dividends, after which the corresponding equity shares will be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This transfer is mandated under Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, for dividends that remain unpaid or unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more.

The company has already dispatched individual communications to the concerned shareholders on June 2, 2026, detailing the shares liable for transfer. Additionally, the names and folio numbers of affected shareholders have been uploaded to the company's website. Newspaper advertisements were also published on June 9, 2026, in Business Standard and Aajkaal to ensure wide dissemination of the information.

Claim Process and Consequences

Shareholders must submit their claims along with the required documentary evidence before the stipulated deadline. If the dividends remain unclaimed by September 30, 2026, the company will proceed to transfer the shares to the IEPF without further notice. The specific procedures for physical and electronic shareholdings are outlined below:

Once transferred, all future benefits and dividends accruing on these shares will be credited to the IEPF. Shareholders retain the right to reclaim both the unclaimed dividend and the shares from the IEPF Authority by following the prescribed procedure, but no claim will lie against the company post-transfer.

Shareholder Facilitation Initiatives

In alignment with the IEPF Authority's directives, the company is conducting the Second 100 Days Campaign, titled "Saksham Niveshak", from April 1, 2026, to July 9, 2026. This initiative encourages shareholders to claim unpaid dividends and update their KYC details, contact information, bank account details, and nomination preferences to prevent the transfer of assets to the IEPF.

Furthermore, a special window for the transfer and dematerialization of physical securities is currently open. This facility, available until February 4, 2027, applies to securities purchased or sold prior to April 1, 2019, as well as to previous transfer requests that were rejected or returned due to deficiencies. Approved transfers under this window will be issued only in dematerialized form and will be subject to a one-year lock-in period from the date of transfer registration.
