Ratnamani Metals & Tubes Limited has issued a comprehensive notice to shareholders regarding the mandatory transfer of unclaimed dividend shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority. The company has formally communicated to both BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited about the publication of newspaper notice for IEPF transfer procedures.

Regulatory Filing and Communication

The company filed its regulatory communication on May 1, 2026, addressing both stock exchanges under reference number RMTL/SEC/IEPF/BASE YEAR 2018-19/2026-27. The filing was signed by Company Secretary & Compliance Officer Anil Maloo and submitted pursuant to Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Legal Framework and Compliance

The company's action stems from Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016. Under these provisions, companies must transfer unpaid dividends and corresponding shares to the IEPF Authority after the specified period of seven consecutive years.

Publication and Communication Timeline

The company has undertaken several steps to inform affected shareholders through multiple channels:

Critical Deadline for Shareholders

Shareholders must claim their unclaimed dividend amounts on or before August 31, 2026. After this deadline, the company will transfer the dividend amounts and corresponding shares to the IEPF Authority without any further communication or liability on the company's part.

Share Certificate and Transfer Procedures

For shareholders holding physical shares, the company will issue duplicate share certificates to facilitate the transfer process. The original certificates held by shareholders will be automatically cancelled and deemed non-negotiable once the transfer occurs. For shareholders with dematerialized holdings, the company will coordinate with depositories to transfer shares to the IEPF Authority's demat account.

Recovery Process from IEPF Authority

Shareholders who miss the deadline can still recover their dividends and shares from the IEPF Authority by filing Form IEPF-5 online through the prescribed web-based application, submitting required documents along with specimen signatures recorded with the company, and following the IEPF Authority's prescribed procedures for claim processing.

The notice emphasizes that no claims will be entertained against the company once the transfer to IEPF Authority is completed, making it crucial for eligible shareholders to act before the specified deadline.
