The company disclosed that unpaid dividends and the corresponding shares are scheduled for transfer to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) on September 9, 2026. To prevent this transfer, shareholders must claim their dues on or before August 21, 2026.
The campaign, effective from April 1, 2026, follows directives from the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA). It targets shareholders whose dividends have remained unpaid or unclaimed, with a specific emphasis on KYC updation and related compliance measures.
