South Indian Bank Announces Special Window for Physical Securities Dematerialisation
South Indian Bank opens a special window for dematerialisation of physical securities from Feb 5, 2026, to Feb 4, 2027. This applies to securities purchased before April 1, 2019, and those with prior transfer deficiencies. Transferred securities will have a 100-day lock-in.
This is a routine procedural announcement related to the handling of physical shares and dematerialisation, which is a standard regulatory requirement. It is unlikely to have a significant impact on the bank's operations or financial performance in the short term.
The announcement is a regulatory compliance and procedural update regarding the dematerialisation of physical securities. It does not contain any financial performance indicators or significant business developments that would suggest a positive or negative sentiment.
The South Indian Bank Limited has announced the opening of a special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities. This initiative is in compliance with SEBI regulations and circulars, specifically SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/3750/2026 dated 30th January, 2026.
The special window will be available for securities purchased prior to April 01, 2019, and also for those transfer requests that were submitted but rejected or returned due to deficiencies. The window will remain open for a period of one year, from February 05, 2026, to February 04, 2027.
Transfers processed under this window will be mandatory dematerialised and will be under lock-in for a period of 100 days from the date of registration of transfer. These securities cannot be transferred or pledged during the lock-in period. Shareholders are advised to submit their transfer requests along with necessary documents to the Company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, MAS Services Limited. The bank has also published advertisements regarding this in the Financial Express (All India Edition) and Deepika (Thrissur Edition) on February 13, 2026, and this information is also hosted on the bank's website.
