HFCL Limited: Shareholders in Physical Mode Must Submit PAN and KYC Details
HFCL Limited requires shareholders with physical shares to submit PAN and KYC details by February 06, 2026, as per SEBI mandate. Failure to comply restricts service requests and payment processing from April 01, 2024. Shareholders are urged to dematerialize shares for efficient transactions.
This is a routine regulatory compliance update affecting only shareholders holding shares in physical mode. It does not have a direct material impact on the company's operations or financial performance.
The announcement is a regulatory compliance update and does not contain any financial performance indicators or strategic business developments that would elicit a positive or negative sentiment. It is a procedural requirement for shareholders.
HFCL Limited has issued an intimation to all shareholders holding equity shares in physical mode who have not yet furnished their Permanent Account Number (PAN), Know Your Customer (KYC) details, nomination details, and other prescribed information. This action is in compliance with SEBI Master Circular No. HO/38/13/(4)2026 -MIRSD -POD/I/4298/2026 dated February 06, 2026.
Shareholders are required to submit these details to the company's Registrars and Share Transfer Agent, MCS Share Transfer Agents Limited. Failure to provide complete details, including PAN, contact information (postal address with PIN and mobile number), bank account details, and specimen signature, will restrict their ability to lodge grievances or avail services such as issuing duplicate shares, claiming from unclaimed suspense accounts, renewal/exchange of securities certificates, endorsement, sub-division/splitting of certificates, consolidation of certificates/folios, transmission, and transposition. Furthermore, any payments, including dividends, interest, or redemption payments, will only be processed through electronic mode from April 01, 2024, upon furnishing PAN and KYC details.
Shareholders must submit the updated information using Form ISR-1, along with necessary attachments. The PAN provided should be linked with Aadhaar; otherwise, it will be deemed invalid, and the folio will be treated accordingly. For nomination, Form SH-13 should be furnished, or Form ISR-3 for opting out of nomination. Form SH-14 can be used to cancel or change nominations later. All required forms can be downloaded from the RTA's website (http://www.mcsregistrars.com) or the company's website (https://www.hfcl.com/) under 'Investor Information'. Documents can be submitted in person at the RTA's office, via self-attested hard copies, or through electronic mode to helpdeskdelhi@mcsregistrars.com.
The company also reiterated that in accordance with Regulation 40 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, all requests for transfer of securities, including transmission and transposition, will be processed only in dematerialized form. Shareholders holding shares in physical form are strongly advised to dematerialize their shares to mitigate risks associated with physical certificates and ensure efficient transactions.
