Great Eastern Shipping Publishes Newspaper Ad for IEPF Share Transfer
The Great Eastern Shipping Company Limited is transferring shares to the IEPF due to unclaimed dividends. Shareholders must claim their dividends by August 20, 2026, to prevent share transfer. A special window is open until February 04, 2027, for dematerialisation of certain physical securities.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for companies with unclaimed dividends and shares. It does not represent a significant operational or financial event for the company.
The announcement is a routine regulatory filing regarding the transfer of shares to the IEPF due to unclaimed dividends. It does not contain any information that positively or negatively impacts the company's operations or financials.
The Great Eastern Shipping Company Limited has published a newspaper advertisement regarding the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is being taken in accordance with the Investor Education and Protection Fund (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
Notices have been issued to concerned shareholders whose shares are liable for transfer to the IEPF due to unclaimed dividends for seven or more consecutive years. The company has also published this information in the Business Standard (English, all editions) and Sakal (Marathi, Mumbai edition) newspapers.
Shareholders who have not encashed their dividend for the past seven years are requested to claim their due dividend by making an application to KFin Technologies Limited, the company's Registrars and Transfer Agents, on or before August 20, 2026. The application should include Investor Service Request Forms (ISR Forms), full bank mandate details, a cancelled cheque leaf, and self-attested copies of PAN cards. If shareholders fail to claim their dividend by this date, their shares will be transferred to the IEPF Authority. The company has also opened a special window from February 05, 2026, to February 04, 2027, for the transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities purchased before April 1, 2019, that were previously rejected or remain unprocessed. Shares transferred to IEPF, along with any accruing benefits, can be claimed back from the IEPF Authority.
