Bata India Limited has submitted copies of newspaper advertisements published on April 16, 2026, in 'Financial Express' (English) and 'Ekdin' (Bengali). These advertisements pertain to a Special Window for Fresh Lodgement/Re-lodgement of Share Transfer Requests and the 'Saksham Niveshak' - Second 100 Days Campaign by the IEPF Authority.
The special window for share transfer requests, facilitated under SEBI Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/1/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026, commenced on February 5, 2026, and will conclude on February 4, 2027. This window is exclusively for transfer requests where share transfer deeds were executed prior to April 1, 2019, provided the original security certificate is available. All such shares, upon successful transfer, will be mandatorily credited in demat mode and will be subject to a one-year lock-in period from the date of registration.
Additionally, the company highlighted the 'Saksham Niveshak' campaign, initiated by the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority. This campaign runs from April 1, 2026, to July 9, 2026, and aims to reach out to shareholders with unpaid/unclaimed dividends or those who have not updated their Know Your Customer (KYC) details. Shareholders are advised to contact the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), MUFG Intime India Private Limited, for any related queries or to submit necessary documents.
