Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GNFC) has published a notice to its shareholders regarding the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Account. This action is in accordance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and related rules. The company has published this notice in the Ahmedabad Edition of "Business Standard".
As per the IEPF Rules, if dividends on shares remain unclaimed by a shareholder for seven consecutive years or more, the company is mandated to transfer such shares, along with the corresponding unpaid dividends, to the IEPF Authority. The due date for the transfer of unclaimed dividends for the Financial Year 2018-19 to the IEPF Authority is October 31, 2026. Consequently, shares with unclaimed dividends for seven or more consecutive years will also be transferred to the IEPF Authority.
The company clarified that shares will not be transferred to the IEPF Authority if there is a specific court or tribunal order restraining such transfer, or if the shares are hypothecated or pledged under the Depositories Act, 1996. Individual notices are being sent to all concerned shareholders. Detailed information about such shareholders is available on the company's website: https://www.gnfc.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/GNFC-Continue-Seven-Year-Unpaid-Data.pdf.
