SMS Pharma Reminds Shareholders About Share Transfer to IEPF
SMS Pharmaceuticals Limited is reminding shareholders about the compulsory transfer of shares to the IEPF if dividends remain unclaimed for seven years. Shareholders must claim their dividends by October 25, 2026. Failure to do so will lead to shares being transferred to the IEPF.
This is a standard regulatory process for unclaimed dividends and shares, and it does not immediately impact the company's operations or financial performance. The impact is primarily on the affected shareholders.
The announcement is a routine regulatory compliance communication regarding the transfer of shares to the IEPF due to unclaimed dividends. It does not contain any positive or negative financial news.
SMS Pharmaceuticals Limited has issued a reminder to shareholders regarding the transfer of shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. This action is pursuant to Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The company has dispatched reminder letters on July 22, 2026, to identified shareholders who have not claimed their dividends for seven or more consecutive years and whose shares are liable for transfer to IEPF.
Shareholders are urged to claim their unpaid dividends by applying immediately with their KYC documents and undertaking, along with Form ISR-1, and submitting it to Aarthi Consultants Pvt. Ltd., the Company's Registrar and Transfer Agents, on or before October 25, 2026. Failure to claim the dividend by this date will result in the transfer of all their shares, whether held in physical or electronic form, to the IEPF Account.
The announcement also details the process for claiming both the unclaimed dividend amount and the shares from the IEPF Authority using Form IEPF-5. Members are encouraged to furnish or update their PAN, KYC details, bank account details, nomination, and specimen signature with the RTA or the Company to facilitate dividend remittance.
