BF Investment Limited has informed stock exchanges about the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) announcement of another special window for re-lodgement of transfer requests of physical shares. The initiative aims to facilitate ease of investing for investors and secure their rights in securities purchased prior to April 01, 2019.

SEBI Special Window Details

SEBI has opened the special window through its circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026. This follows the company's earlier intimation dated July 07, 2025, regarding similar provisions for physical share transfers.

Transfer Process and Restrictions

The special window covers transfer requests that were previously submitted but were rejected, returned, or not processed due to document deficiencies or procedural issues. All securities transferred during this period will be mandatorily credited to the transferee only in dematerialized mode.

Key Restrictions During Lock-in:

• Securities cannot be transferred during the one-year lock-in period
• Lien-marking of shares is prohibited
• Pledging of securities is not allowed
• Lock-in period starts from the date of registration of transfer

Company Support Infrastructure

BF Investment Limited and its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) have established focused teams to handle these transfer requests efficiently. The company has provided multiple contact channels for investor assistance.

Regulatory Compliance

The notification was signed by Gayatri Rohan Karandikar, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, on February 04, 2026. The company has ensured compliance with disclosure requirements under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The SEBI circular and related information will be made available on the company's official website for easy access by investors. This initiative represents SEBI's continued efforts to facilitate investor rights and improve the ease of investing in physical securities that were purchased before the mandatory demat requirements came into effect.
