GNFC Notifies Shareholders About Transfer of Unclaimed Dividends to IEPF
GNFC is transferring shares with unclaimed dividends from FY 2018-19 to FY 2024-25 to the IEPF. Shareholders must claim their dividends by October 31, 2026, by submitting forms to KFin Technologies Limited. Failure to do so means shares and unclaimed dividends will be transferred to IEPF.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for unclaimed dividends and does not directly impact the company's operations or financial performance.
The announcement is a routine regulatory compliance action regarding unclaimed dividends and does not inherently present positive or negative financial news for the company.
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited (GNFC) has informed its shareholders about the mandatory transfer of equity shares with unclaimed dividends for seven consecutive years to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).
This action is in compliance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Auditing, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016. The company has sent letters to shareholders who have not claimed or encashed their dividends for the financial years starting from FY 2018-19.
Shareholders who have unclaimed dividends for FY 2018-19 (₹231), FY 2019-20 (₹165), FY 2020-21 (₹264), FY 2021-22 (₹330), FY 2022-23 (₹990), FY 2023-24 (₹544.5), and FY 2024-25 (₹594) are urged to claim their dividends by October 31, 2026. They must submit the enclosed Application Form, along with prescribed KYC Forms and supporting documents, to the Company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), KFin Technologies Limited.
Failure to claim the dividend by the specified date will result in the transfer of the relevant shares and unclaimed dividend to the IEPF without further notice. Upon such transfer, claims for the unclaimed dividend or shares can only be made from the IEPF Authority by filing e-Form IEPF-5. The company also highlighted SEBI's circular on February 6, 2026, simplifying investor service requests, emphasizing that outstanding dividends for shares held in physical form will be credited directly to the bank account only if the folio is KYC compliant.
