UPL Limited has announced the opening of a special window for transfer and dematerialisation of physical shares, in compliance with recent SEBI regulations. The initiative aims to facilitate shareholders who have pending transfer requests with deeds executed before the April 01, 2019 deadline.

Regulatory Framework and Timeline

The special window has been established pursuant to SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/MIRSD/MIRSD-PoD1/P/CIR/2025/97 dated July 02, 2025, and subsequent Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026.

Eligible investors must lodge or re-lodge their requests with the company's designated registrar along with requisite documents as prescribed under the SEBI circular. All transferred securities will be credited to transferees exclusively in dematerialised form and will be subject to a mandatory one-year lock-in period from the date of registration of transfer.
