IFCI Announces Special Window for Dematerialization of Physical Securities
IFCI Limited has opened a special window for the dematerialization of physical securities, valid from February 5, 2026, to February 4, 2027. This allows for the transfer of pre-April 2019 shares and addresses previously rejected requests. Transferred shares will be under a one-year lock-in.
This is a routine regulatory compliance measure to facilitate the dematerialization of shares. It is unlikely to have a significant immediate financial impact on the company, though it may improve operational efficiency and shareholder convenience in the long run.
The announcement is procedural and aims to facilitate compliance with SEBI regulations for shareholders holding physical securities. It does not contain any new financial performance data or significant strategic changes that would positively or negatively impact the company's immediate outlook.
IFCI Limited has announced a special window for the transfer and dematerialization of physical securities. This initiative, in line with a SEBI Circular dated January 30, 2026, is open for one year, from February 05, 2026, to February 04, 2027. It aims to facilitate the transfer of securities sold or purchased before April 01, 2019, and also covers transfer requests that were previously rejected or not processed due to documentation or procedural deficiencies. Securities transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) are not eligible under this window.
Eligible shareholders can submit their requests to IFCI Limited or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, MCS Share Transfer Agent Limited. During this period, any securities re-lodged for transfer will be mandatorily credited to the transferee in demat mode only. These securities will be subject to a lock-in period of one year from the date of transfer registration and cannot be transferred, lien-marked, or pledged during this time. Shareholders are also urged to register or update their email IDs and KYC details with their Depository Participants or the Company/R&STA to receive communications electronically and to convert physical share certificates into dematerialized form.
The SEBI Circular and related information are available on the SEBI website and IFCI's website.
