The announcement is a routine regulatory compliance action regarding unclaimed dividends and shares. It does not contain any positive or negative financial performance indicators or strategic shifts.
Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC) has initiated the process to transfer unpaid/unclaimed dividends and corresponding shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action pertains to shareholders whose dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more, commencing with the financial year 2018-19.
The company has dispatched letters to the concerned shareholders on May 20, 2026, via Speed Post, urging them to claim their unpaid dividends before they are transferred to the IEPF. These shareholders' equity shares are also liable for transfer to the IEPF Authority as per Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013.
Shareholders are requested to claim their unpaid dividends by submitting an original cancelled cheque leaf or a copy of their passbook's front page by August 31, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the transfer of shares to the IEPF Authority. The process for claiming dividends and shares from the IEPF involves obtaining an Entitlement Letter from the company and subsequently filing Form IEPF-5 online. The company also emphasized the importance of dematerializing physical shares and ensuring KYC compliance for direct credit of outstanding dividend payments.
