Sobha Limited: Notice on Transfer of Unclaimed Dividends and Shares to IEPF by Oct 15, 2026
Sobha Limited will transfer unclaimed dividends and shares from FY 2018-19 to the IEPF by October 15, 2026. Shareholders must claim by September 15, 2026. The company has published notices and details on its website.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for unclaimed dividends and shares. It does not represent a new business development, financial performance change, or strategic shift that would significantly impact the company's operations or market standing.
The announcement is a routine regulatory compliance action regarding unclaimed dividends and shares, with no direct positive or negative financial implications for the company itself. It informs shareholders about a mandatory process.
Sobha Limited has issued a notice to its shareholders regarding the transfer of unclaimed dividends and equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is in compliance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and related rules. Dividends declared for the Financial Year 2018-19, which have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years, are due for transfer to IEPF after September 15, 2026. Consequently, the equity shares held by shareholders who have not claimed these dividends for the same period will also be transferred to IEPF.
The company has been sending individual notices to affected shareholders, advising them to claim their dividends. Details of shareholders and their shares due for transfer to IEPF have also been uploaded on Sobha Limited's website (www.sobha.com) for verification.
Shareholders who do not communicate with the company by September 15, 2026, will have their shares transferred to IEPF by the due date of October 15, 2026. The company emphasizes that no claims will be entertained against Sobha Limited for these unclaimed dividends and shares once transferred. Shareholders can claim back their unclaimed dividends and shares from the IEPF Authority following the prescribed procedure. For shareholders holding shares in physical form, duplicate share certificates will be issued for the purpose of transfer to IEPF, and these will be converted to demat form and transferred to the IEPF account. Original share certificates will be automatically cancelled. Shareholders holding shares in dematerialized form will have their shares transferred directly to the IEPF's demat account. The company has also published newspaper advertisements in Business Line (English) and Prajavani (Kannada) on June 02, 2026, regarding this matter.
