Asian Paints will transfer shares with unclaimed dividends for 7+ years to the IEPF by July 10, 2026. Shareholders can claim by this date. Affected shareholders have been notified. Details are on the company website. The process involves direct transfer for demat shares and new certificates for physical shares.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for companies with unclaimed dividends and does not directly impact the company's operations or financial performance. It affects a specific group of shareholders.
The announcement is a routine regulatory filing regarding the transfer of shares to the IEPF due to unclaimed dividends. It does not contain any positive or negative financial or operational news.
Asian Paints Limited has issued a notice to its shareholders regarding the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. This action is in compliance with Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Rules, which mandate the transfer of shares for which dividends have not been paid or claimed for seven consecutive years or more.
The company has previously sent individual notices to affected shareholders, providing details of their unclaimed dividends and an opportunity to claim them by July 10, 2026, to prevent the transfer of their shares. A statement containing the names of shareholders and their details whose shares are liable for transfer to the IEPF is available on the company's website.
Shares held in electronic form will be directly transferred from the shareholder's demat account to the IEPF Authority's demat account. For shares held in physical form, new share certificates will be issued and then transferred. Original share certificates will be deemed cancelled. No claims will be entertained against the company for unclaimed dividends and shares transferred to IEPF after this process. Shareholders can claim their shares and dividends from the IEPF Authority by making an online application. Queries can be directed to the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, MUFG Investor Services India Private Limited.
