Equitas Small Finance Bank Announces Special Window for Physical Share Transfer and Dematerialisation
Equitas Small Finance Bank has opened a special one-year window from Feb 5, 2026, to Feb 4, 2027, for transferring and dematerialising physical shares purchased before April 1, 2019, that were rejected or unprocessed. The bank published notices on Feb 13, 2026, in newspapers and social media.
This is a routine regulatory communication and does not significantly impact the bank's operations or financial performance.
The announcement is a regulatory compliance disclosure regarding a special window for share transfers, with no inherent positive or negative financial implications for the bank itself.
Equitas Small Finance Bank Limited has drawn the attention of its shareholders to a SEBI Circular dated January 30, 2026, regarding the opening of a special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities. This window is for shares purchased prior to April 01, 2019, that were rejected, returned, or not processed due to deficiencies.
The special window will remain open for a period of one year, from February 05, 2026, to February 04, 2027. In compliance with SEBI regulations, the bank has published advertisements in Business Standard and Makkal Kural on February 13, 2026. Additionally, posts were disseminated on the bank's social media handles (LinkedIn and X) to notify shareholders about this initiative.
Eligible shareholders or transferees are required to lodge their transfer requests with the Bank or its Registrar & Transfer Agent, KFIN Technologies Limited, along with specific documents including original security certificates, transfer deeds executed before April 01, 2019, proof of purchase, KYC documents, and a recent Client Master List. All securities transferred during this window will be credited only in demat form and will be under a lock-in period of one year from the date of registration. Transfer requests submitted after February 04, 2027, will not be accepted.
