SPR Auto Technologies Limited (formerly Shriram Pistons & Rings Limited) has opened a special window from February 5, 2026, to February 28, 2026, for the re-lodgement of transfer deeds related to physical shares. This facility is available for transfer deeds that were originally lodged prior to the deadline of April 1, 2019, but were rejected, returned, or not attended to due to deficiencies in the process or documents, and subsequently missed the extended timeline of March 31, 2021.
The company has specified that a mandatory requirement for lodging requests under this special window is the submission of original share certificates. To be eligible, the execution date of the transfer deed must be before April 1, 2019, and the shares must have been lodged for transfer before that date, either as a fresh lodgement or as a previously rejected or returned lodgement. Crucially, the original share certificate must be available.
However, the company clarified that certain cases will not be considered under this special window. These include shares that are currently under any litigation, dispute, or court injunction, as well as securities that have already been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).
Shareholders utilizing this window should note that all re-lodged shares will be processed through a transfer-cum-dematerialized route. Consequently, the shares will be issued only in dematerialized (demat) form following the transfer. Additionally, these shares will be subject to a lock-in period of one year.
