Godrej Consumer Products Notifies Shareholders About Share Transfer to IEPF
Godrej Consumer Products Limited is transferring unpaid dividends and shares to the IEPF by December 12, 2026, if unclaimed for seven years. Shareholders must submit claims by November 15, 2026, and update KYC details. Failure to act will lead to share transfer to IEPF.
This is a routine regulatory compliance action regarding unclaimed dividends and shares, affecting a specific subset of shareholders and having no immediate material impact on the company's operations or overall financial health.
The announcement is a regulatory compliance action regarding unclaimed dividends and shares, which is a standard procedure and does not inherently indicate positive or negative performance for the company.
Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) has issued a notice to its equity shareholders regarding the proposed transfer of equity shares and unpaid dividends to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Account. This action is in compliance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority Rules.
The company observed that certain dividends issued in favor of some shareholders have not been encashed as of June 30, 2026. As per Section 124(5) of the Act, dividends that remain unpaid or unclaimed for seven years are to be transferred to the IEPF. Similarly, shares associated with such dividends are also subject to transfer to the IEPF under Section 124(6).
Specifically, for the interim dividend paid in November 2019, the seven-year period will conclude on December 12, 2026. Consequently, any unpaid or unclaimed dividends and the corresponding shares remaining unclaimed for a continuous period of seven years from this date will be transferred to the IEPF Authority.
Shareholders are urged to lodge their claims with the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent, M/s. MUFG Intime India Private Limited, on or before November 15, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the transfer of their equity shares to the IEPF without further notice. Shareholders are also reminded to update their Know Your Customer (KYC) details, including PAN, contact information, bank account details, and nomination, to ensure electronic dividend payments and to avoid issues with lodging grievances or service requests. The process for claiming shares and unpaid dividends from the IEPF after the transfer has also been outlined.
