Rico Auto Industries Limited will transfer unpaid dividends for the financial year 2018-19 and corresponding equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority on November 6, 2026. The transfer applies to amounts that have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more. Shareholders must submit claims by September 30, 2026, to prevent the transfer of their funds and shares to the IEPF Authority.

The company stated that individual notices have been sent to all affected shareholders. The list of shareholders whose dividends and shares are liable for transfer is available on the company's website. This action is pursuant to Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.

Shareholders holding shares in physical form will have their original certificates cancelled and replaced with duplicates transferred to the company. For those holding shares in electronic form, the demat accounts will be debited for the shares liable for transfer. Once transferred, no claim will lie against the company regarding the unclaimed dividend or shares.

Concerned shareholders can claim the dividend and shares back from the IEPF Authority by submitting an application in the prescribed Form IEPF-5 online. This process requires obtaining an entitlement letter from the company. For queries, shareholders may contact the company secretary at the registered office in Gurugram.
