Motilal Oswal Reminds Shareholders About IEPF Share Transfer Deadline
Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited is reminding shareholders about the transfer of unclaimed dividends and shares to the IEPF Authority. Shareholders who haven't claimed dividends since FY 2018-19 must do so by August 30, 2026, to avoid their shares being transferred to IEPF.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for companies with unclaimed dividends and shares. It does not have a direct financial impact on the company's operations or future prospects, other than fulfilling compliance requirements.
The announcement is a routine regulatory compliance filing regarding the transfer of unclaimed shares and dividends to the IEPF. It does not contain any financial performance indicators or strategic business updates that would positively or negatively impact the company's outlook.
Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited has issued a reminder to its eligible shareholders regarding the transfer of unclaimed dividends and equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. This action is mandated by Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The company has sent reminder letters to shareholders who have not claimed their dividends for seven consecutive years, starting from the final dividend declared for the Financial Year 2018-19. These shares are liable for transfer to the IEPF Authority.
A statement detailing the unclaimed dividends, including the names, folio numbers, DP and client IDs, and the number of shares of the eligible shareholders, has been uploaded on the company's website at www.motilaloswalgroup.com.
Shareholders are urged to claim their unclaimed dividends by August 30, 2026, by applying to the Company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited. The application requires specific details and supporting documents such as PAN card, address proof, cancelled cheque leaf, client master list, and banker's confirmation of signature. In case of physical shareholding, Form ISR-1 and Form SH-13 are also needed.
If no application is received by the specified date, the shares will be transferred to the IEPF Authority without further notice. Claims for shares transferred to the IEPF can be made to the IEPF Authority using e-Form IEPF-5, available on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website (www.mca.gov.in), following the prescribed procedure. The company explicitly states that no claim will lie against the company for unclaimed dividends or shares transferred to the IEPF Authority.
