Bajaj Auto: Shareholders in physical mode urged to update KYC to avoid dividend withholding
Bajaj Auto is reminding shareholders with physical holdings to update their KYC details to avoid dividend withholding. Non-compliance with SEBI's mandates by April 1, 2024, will result in dividends being paid only through electronic modes. Shareholders must submit updated PAN, address, contact, and bank details.
This communication directly impacts shareholders holding shares in physical form, as it mandates KYC updates to ensure continued dividend payments and compliance with SEBI regulations. Failure to comply could lead to withholding of dividends, making it a medium-impact event for the affected shareholder segment.
The announcement is a standard regulatory compliance communication from the company to its shareholders regarding KYC updates for physical holdings. It does not contain any financial performance indicators or strategic business updates that would suggest a positive or negative sentiment.
Bajaj Auto Limited has issued a communication to its shareholders holding shares in physical mode, urging them to furnish or update their Know Your Customer (KYC) details. This action is in compliance with SEBI Master Circular No. HO/38/13/(4)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/4298/2026 dated 06 February 2026.
Shareholders whose KYC details, including PAN, postal address with PIN, mobile number, e-mail address, and bank account details, are not updated will face withholding of dividend payments for the financial year 2025-26. This is in line with SEBI's mandate that physical security holders must provide updated KYC details to receive payments, including dividends, solely through electronic modes, effective from 01 April 2024. SEBI has also encouraged investors to provide nomination details for the smooth transmission of securities.
Shareholders are requested to submit the required details using forms such as ISR-1 for PAN, ISR-2 for specimen signatures, and SH-13/ISR-3 for nomination. These forms can be downloaded from the company's website or the RTA's website. The duly executed KYC documents can be sent to the Registrar and Transfer Agent, M/s. KFin Technologies Limited, via physical copy, a self-attested scanned copy via email to einward.ris@kfintech.com, or uploaded through the RTA's web portal. The company also advises shareholders holding shares in physical form to consider dematerializing their shares.
