Asian Paints Publishes Newspaper Notice for IEPF Share Transfer
Asian Paints is transferring unclaimed shares to the IEPF Authority by November 6, 2026. Shareholders who haven't claimed dividends for 7+ years are notified. Details are on the company website. Claims can be made via IEPF-5 form.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for companies to transfer shares with unclaimed dividends to the IEPF. It does not indicate any new business developments, financial performance changes, or strategic shifts that would significantly impact the company.
The announcement is a routine regulatory filing regarding the transfer of unclaimed shares to the IEPF. It does not contain any information that would positively or negatively impact the company's stock or business operations.
Asian Paints Limited has published a notice in various newspapers regarding the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. This action is taken in accordance with Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The company has sent individual notices to shareholders who have not claimed their dividend for seven consecutive years or more. These shareholders have been given an opportunity to claim their unclaimed dividend by Friday, 6th November 2026, to avoid the transfer of their shares to the IEPF Authority's demat account.
A statement containing the details of such shareholders and their shares liable for transfer is available on the company's website (https://www.asianpaints.com/IEPF.html). The transfer of shares to IEPF will not occur if there is a court order restraining such transfer or if the shares are hypothecated or pledged. If no valid claim is received by the deadline, the equity shares will be transferred to the IEPF Authority's demat account, either directly from the shareholder's demat account or by issuing new share certificates for physical shares, which will then be transferred.
Shareholders can claim their equity shares and dividends from the IEPF Authority by making an online application using Form IEPF-5 on the IEPF Authority's website (www.iepf.gov.in). For any queries, shareholders can contact MUFG Intime India Private Limited, the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent.
