Equitas Small Finance Bank Limited has announced the opening of a special window for the re-lodgement of transfer requests for physical shares. This window is available for shares that were originally lodged before April 1, 2019, but were rejected or returned due to deficiencies in documents or processes. The special window will remain open for a period of six months, from July 7, 2025, to January 6, 2026. During this period, any re-lodged shares will be issued only in demat mode, provided the shareholder has a demat account and submits the necessary documentation, including a Client Master List.
Additionally, the bank has issued a notice to shareholders to claim unpaid or unclaimed dividends. Shareholders are urged to update their KYC details to prevent their shares and dividends from being transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). The bank has provided a website (https://ir.equitas.bank.in/shareholder-services/) for details on unclaimed dividends. The announcement also serves as a notification for newspaper advertisements published on December 16, 2025, in Business Standard and Makkal Kural regarding these matters.
