IFCI Limited Announces Special Window for Physical Securities Dematerialization
IFCI Limited opens a special window from Feb 05, 2026, to Feb 04, 2027, for dematerializing physical securities sold before April 01, 2019. This SEBI-mandated initiative allows shareholders to convert physical shares to demat form. Securities transferred to IEPF are excluded. Transferred shares will have a one-year lock-in.
This is a routine regulatory compliance action to facilitate the conversion of physical shares to demat form for a specific period. It does not involve any new financial commitments, strategic shifts, or significant operational changes for the company that would have a high impact.
The announcement is a procedural update regarding a SEBI circular to facilitate the dematerialization of physical securities. It does not contain any specific financial performance indicators or strategic changes that would warrant a positive or negative sentiment.
IFCI Limited has announced a special window for the transfer and dematerialization of physical securities that were sold or purchased before April 01, 2019. This initiative, in line with SEBI Circular H0/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026, aims to facilitate the conversion of physical shares into dematerialized form.
The special window will remain open for one year, from February 05, 2026, to February 04, 2027. It will also accommodate transfer requests that were previously rejected or not processed due to deficiencies. However, securities that have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) will not be 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, securities lodged for transfer will be mandatorily credited to the transferee in demat mode and will be under a one-year lock-in period from the date of transfer registration, preventing any further transfer, lien, or pledge. Shareholders holding shares in physical form are strongly advised to update their KYC details and convert their shares to dematerialized form. Those holding shares in demat are requested to update their KYC with their Depository Participants.
