DCB Bank Limited has announced the upcoming transfer of unpaid/unclaimed dividends and corresponding shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is in compliance with Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The dividends for the financial year 2018-19, declared on June 1, 2019, which have remained unpaid or unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more, are due for transfer to the IEPF on July 07, 2026. Consequently, the underlying shares associated with these unclaimed dividends will also be transferred to the IEPF on the same date, provided no dividend has been paid or claimed for any year during the seven-year period and the shares are held in the respective folio/demat account or lying in the Security Suspense Account.
The bank has published advertisements in Business Standard (English) and Pudhari (Marathi) on April 2, 2026, and has also sent reminder letters to shareholders. Shareholders who have unpaid/unclaimed dividends for FY 2018-19 and other unclaimed dividends are advised to claim them by making an application along with the required documents before June 25, 2026. Failure to respond by this date will result in the bank initiating the transfer process to the IEPF Authority.
Additionally, the bank is reminding shareholders holding shares in physical mode to update their Know Your Customer (KYC) details, including PAN, address, mobile number, and bank account details, as mandated by SEBI circulars. Dividend payments will be processed only through electronic mode upon furnishing complete KYC details. Shareholders can update their KYC and access services through MUFG Intime India Private Limited's (formerly Link Intime India Private Limited) RTA portal, 'SWAYAM'.
