The Indian Hotels Company Limited , a Tata Enterprise operating under the CIN L74999MH1902PLC000183, has issued a formal regulatory notice to shareholders whose dividends have remained unclaimed for seven or more consecutive years. In compliance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, the company has also filed a disclosure with BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited on May 9, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Schedule III Part A Para A of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The notice, dated May 8, 2026, was published in Financial Express (English) and Loksatta (Marathi) newspapers, and individual reminder letters have been dispatched to all concerned shareholders at their registered addresses.
Unclaimed Dividends Subject to IEPF Transfer
The notice pertains to shareholders who have not encashed or claimed their dividend warrants for seven consecutive years commencing from the unpaid dividend for FY 2018-19. The following financial years' final dividends are covered under this notice:
| Dividend Period: | Status |
|---|---|
| Final Dividend for FY 2018-2019 | Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend for FY 2019-2020 | Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend for FY 2020-2021 | Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend for FY 2021-2022 | Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend for FY 2022-2023 | Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend for FY 2023-2024 | Unclaimed |
| Final Dividend for FY 2024-2025 | Unclaimed |
The company has noted that unclaimed dividends prior to the years mentioned above have already been transferred to the IEPF, as required under Section 124(5) of the Companies Act, 2013.
Deadline and Consequences of Non-Action
Shareholders are urged to claim their unpaid dividends on or before July 26, 2026. In the event dividends remain unclaimed beyond this date, the company will initiate the transfer of the unclaimed dividend for FY 2018-19 and the corresponding equity shares — in respect of which dividends have remained unpaid or unclaimed for seven consecutive years — to the Demat Account of the IEPF Authority, without any further notice to shareholders. The transfer process will differ based on the form in which shares are held:
- Physical form: New share certificate(s) will be issued and transferred in favour of the IEPF Authority upon completion of necessary formalities. The original share certificate(s) registered in the name of the shareholder will be deemed cancelled and non-negotiable.
- Dematerialized form: The company will inform the Depositories to execute the corporate action, debiting shares from the shareholder's demat account and transferring them to the IEPF Authority.
It has also been noted that all further benefits arising on equity shares transferred to IEPF will be issued or transferred in favour of the IEPF Authority. As per SEBI norms, outstanding payments for shares held in physical form will be credited directly to the bank account only if the folio is KYC compliant.

Shareholders whose unclaimed dividends and equity shares have been transferred to IEPF may reclaim them by submitting an online application in the prescribed e-form IEPF-5, available on the IEPF website at www.iepf.gov.in .
