GMDC issues reminder for unclaimed dividends, warns of IEPF transfer
GMDC is reminding shareholders to claim unclaimed dividends from FY 2018-19 onwards. Unclaimed dividends and shares will be transferred to the IEPF Authority by November 05, 2026. Shareholders must claim their dues and update bank details with the RTA by this date to avoid transfer.
This is a standard procedural announcement related to unclaimed dividends and does not directly impact the company's financial performance or operations. The impact is on a small subset of shareholders who have not claimed their dividends.
The announcement is a routine regulatory disclosure regarding unclaimed dividends and the process of transferring them to the IEPF. While it informs shareholders of potential consequences, it does not contain any positive or negative financial news.
Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Limited (GMDC) has issued a reminder to shareholders who have not claimed their dividends for the last seven consecutive financial years, starting from FY 2018-19. The company is sending these reminder letters as per Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends are advised that their shares are liable for transfer to the IEPF Authority. The company has also published a newspaper advertisement in the Indian Express (English) and Divya Bhaskar (Gujarati) regarding this matter. A statement of unclaimed dividends, including details of eligible shareholders, has been uploaded on GMDC's website.
Shareholders are urged to claim their unpaid/unclaimed dividend amounts for the financial years 2018-2019 to 2024-2025 by applying to the company or its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), M/s. MCS Share Transfer Agent Limited, on or before November 05, 2026. Failure to do so by the specified date will result in the transfer of unclaimed dividends along with the underlying shares to the IEPF Authority. Shareholders are also requested to update their bank details with their Depository Participant and submit necessary documents to the RTA to ensure uninterrupted benefits on their shareholding.
