Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) has published a notice to its equity shareholders regarding the transfer of equity shares 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 (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The notice was published on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, in the Business Standard (English, All India Edition) and Navshakti (Marathi, Maharashtra Edition).
The company is required to transfer shares for which dividends remain unpaid or unclaimed for seven consecutive years. Shareholders who have not encashed dividends for the financial year 2018-19, interim dividend for 2019-20, and all subsequent dividends are liable for this transfer. HUL has sent or will send separate communications to these shareholders. Information on unpaid dividends can be found on HUL's website.

After the transfer to the IEPF Account, shareholders can reclaim their funds and shares from the IEPF Authority.
