Balaji Telefilms Reminds Shareholders of Unclaimed Dividends and IEPF Share Transfer
Balaji Telefilms Limited is reminding shareholders about unclaimed dividends from FY 2018-19 onwards. Shares are liable for transfer to IEPF by October 05, 2026, if dividends remain unclaimed. Shareholders must submit required documents to claim unpaid dividends and avoid share transfer to IEPF.
This is a routine communication to shareholders about unclaimed dividends and the process of transferring shares to the IEPF, a standard regulatory requirement. It does not have a significant immediate impact on the company's operations or financial standing.
The announcement is a procedural reminder regarding unclaimed dividends and potential share transfer to IEPF. It does not contain any financial performance data or strategic updates that would sway sentiment positively or negatively.
Balaji Telefilms Limited has issued a reminder to shareholders regarding unpaid or unclaimed dividends from the financial year 2018-19 and subsequent years. These shares are liable for transfer to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) authority as per Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the IEPF Authority Rules, 2016. Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends are urged to take immediate action before October 05, 2026, to avoid the mandatory transfer of their shares to the IEPF.
The company, along with its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), KFin Technologies Limited, has provided a list of required documents for shareholders to claim their unpaid dividends and update their details. These include self-attested copies of PAN card and address proof, a cancelled cheque with the name pre-printed, and a Client Master with an updated ECS mandate for those holding shares in dematerialized form. Shareholders with physical shares need to submit additional forms like ISR-1, ISR-2, ISR-3 (if opting out of nomination), and SH-13 for nomination updation.
Forms can be downloaded from the RTA's website. If dividends remain unclaimed by October 05, 2026, the shares will be transferred to the IEPF without further notice. The announcement clarifies that no claim will lie against the company for unclaimed dividends or shares transferred to IEPF. However, shareholders can still claim both the unclaimed dividend amount and the shares by applying to the IEPF authority using Form IEPF-5.
