Vinyl Chemicals (India) Ltd will transfer equity shares pertaining to unclaimed dividends for the Financial Year 2018-2019 to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. The transfer is mandated under Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, as dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more.

The company has dispatched individual notices to affected shareholders and uploaded their details on its website. Shareholders are advised to verify these details and claim their outstanding dividends immediately. For shares held in physical form, original share certificates will become automatically cancelled and non-negotiable upon transfer. For dematerialized holdings, the shares will be debited from the shareholder's account.

Key Dates and Requirements

Shareholders must claim their unclaimed dividends on or before August 31, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the company transferring the shares to the IEPF Authority without further notice. Once transferred, shares and any accruing benefits can only be reclaimed by submitting an application in Form IEPF-5 to the IEPF Authority.
