Voltas Limited has initiated proceedings to transfer equity shares associated with unclaimed dividends to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. The company stated that shares for which dividends have remained unpaid for seven consecutive years or more are liable to be transferred to the IEPF's Demat Account on October 26, 2026. Shareholders affected by this transfer have been advised to claim their dues by August 21, 2026, to prevent the loss of shares and future benefits.

The company identified that the dividends for the financial year 2018-19 and subsequent years are currently unclaimed. Individual communications were dispatched to the concerned shareholders on May 22, 2026, at their registered postal addresses. Voltas Limited clarified that once the shares are transferred, the original share certificates in physical form will be deemed cancelled and non-negotiable, while shares in dematerialized form will be transferred via corporate action through depositories.

Second 100 Days' Campaign

In alignment with directives from the IEPF Authority, Voltas is conducting its Second 100 Days' Campaign, titled "Saksham Niveshak." This campaign, which commenced on April 1, 2026, aims to encourage shareholders to update their KYC details and claim unpaid dividends. The company emphasized that dividends are payable only in electronic mode, necessitating that shareholders update their details with their Depository Participant for demat holdings or submit forms to the Registrar and Transfer Agent for physical holdings.

Special Window for Physical Shares

Voltas also notified shareholders of a special window facilitating the lodgement or re-lodgement of transfer requests for physical shares. This window is available for shares that were sold or purchased prior to April 1, 2019. The facility is currently open and will remain active until February 4, 2027.

Shareholder Contact Information

Shareholders with queries regarding the IEPF transfer, the "Saksham Niveshak" campaign, or the special transfer window may contact the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent.
