Saven Technologies Limited has informed its shareholders regarding the transfer of unclaimed interim dividend for the financial year 2019-20 to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). In accordance with Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, the company is required to transfer all unclaimed dividends to the IEPF after the expiry of seven years from the date of transfer to the unpaid dividend account.
The notice specifies that shares for which dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more will be transferred to the demat account of the IEPF Authority within 30 days of becoming due. Saven Technologies has stated that once these shares and dividend amounts are transferred to the IEPF, no claim will lie against the company in respect thereof.
Claim Process and Documentation
Shareholders wishing to claim their outstanding dividend must first ensure that their correct bank details, including core banking account number and IFSC/MICR, are registered with their Depository Participant or the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, XL Softech Systems Limited. The company has outlined specific documentation requirements based on the mode of share holding.
For shares held in demat form, shareholders must provide a copy of the Demat Account Statement (Client master list) showing name, address, demat, and bank account details, along with a self-attested copy of PAN Card and address proof. For shares held in physical form, required documents include an original cancelled cheque leaf bearing the name of the first shareholder or a bank-attested copy of the first page of the bank passbook/statement of account, along with self-attested copies of PAN Card and address proof.
Important Deadlines
The company has set a strict deadline for shareholders to respond to this intimation letter.
