BBTC to Transfer Unpaid Dividend & Shares to IEPF by Sep 18, 2026
BBTC will transfer unclaimed dividends from FY 2018-19 and corresponding shares to IEPF by September 18, 2026. Shareholders must claim unpaid dividends by September 4, 2026. The company has also launched the 'Saksham Niveshak' campaign to help shareholders update details and claim dues.
This is a procedural announcement concerning unclaimed assets and is unlikely to have a significant impact on the company's current operations or market valuation. It primarily affects a small segment of shareholders with unclaimed dividends.
The announcement is a routine regulatory filing regarding the transfer of unclaimed dividends and shares to the IEPF, which is a standard procedure under company law. It does not contain positive or negative financial performance indicators.
The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Limited (BBTC) has announced the transfer of unpaid dividends and corresponding equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is in accordance with Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The dividend declared for the financial year 2018-19, which has remained unclaimed for seven years, will be transferred to the IEPF on September 18, 2026. Similarly, shares on which dividends have been unclaimed for seven consecutive years will also be transferred as per the rules.
BBTC has sent individual communications to concerned shareholders whose shares are liable for transfer to the IEPF. Detailed information is available on the company's website: https://bbtc.com/investor-relations/iepf-information/.
Shareholders holding shares in physical form will receive duplicate share certificates, and their original certificates will be cancelled. For shares held in electronic form, the demat account will be debited. Shareholders are requested to claim their unpaid dividends by making an application with the required documents to KFin Technologies Limited, the Registrar and Transfer Agent, on or before September 4, 2026. If no communication is received by this date, the company will proceed with the transfer to IEPF.
No claims will lie against the Corporation for unclaimed dividends and shares transferred to IEPF. Shareholders can claim their shares and dividends from the IEPF authority by applying in the prescribed Form IEPF-5 online after obtaining an Entitlement Letter from the Corporation.
Furthermore, BBTC has launched its Second 100 Days Campaign, "Saksham Niveshak," from April 1, 2026, to July 9, 2026. This campaign aims to assist shareholders in updating their KYC, bank mandates, nomination details, and contact information to claim unpaid dividends and prevent the transfer of shares and unpaid dividends to IEPF.
