HUL Reopens Special Window for Physical Share Transfer Requests Until Feb 4, 2027
Hindustan Unilever Limited has reopened a special window for physical share transfer requests. This facility is available from February 5, 2026, to February 4, 2027. It applies to transfers lodged before April 1, 2019, that were rejected. Processed shares will be dematerialized and subject to a one-year lock-in.
This is a routine regulatory compliance announcement related to share transfer procedures for physical shares and has minimal direct impact on the company's operations or financial performance.
The announcement is a procedural update regarding the handling of physical share transfers and does not contain any financial performance indicators or strategic shifts that would warrant a positive or negative sentiment.
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) has announced the reopening of a special window for the re-lodgement of transfer requests for physical shares. This facility, which commenced on 5th February 2026, will remain open for a period of one year, concluding on 4th February 2027.
This special window is specifically for transfer deeds that were lodged prior to 1st April 2019 but were subsequently rejected, returned, or not attended to due to deficiencies in the documentation or process. Fresh lodgements or those where the original security certificate is not available are not eligible under this window.
All transfer requests that are rectified and re-lodged within this period will be processed through a transfer-cum-demat mode. This means the shares will be issued only in dematerialised form after the transfer is registered. These shares will be under a lock-in period of one year from the date of registration, during which they cannot be transferred, lien-marked, or pledged.
Transferees are required to have an active demat account and must submit the Client Master List (CML), along with the transfer documents, share certificate(s), and all other necessary documents to the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), KFin Technologies Limited, located in Hyderabad. HUL has published this information through advertisements in Business Standard (All Editions) and Navshakti (Mumbai Edition) on 21st August 2026.
