ZEEL Publishes Newspaper Notice on Transfer of Unclaimed Shares to IEPF
ZEEL is transferring unclaimed shares to the IEPF Authority by September 20, 2026. Shareholders with unclaimed dividends from FY 2019-2025 must claim them by this date. Failure to do so will result in the transfer of shares and dividends to the IEPF.
This is a routine regulatory compliance activity and does not have a direct financial or operational impact on the company's ongoing business or its shareholders in general, other than those whose shares are being transferred.
The announcement is a procedural update regarding the transfer of unclaimed shares to the IEPF, which is a regulatory requirement. It does not contain any positive or negative financial or operational news for the company.
Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL) has published a notice in the Business Standard and Navashakti newspapers on August 4, 2026, regarding the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority.
This action is in accordance with Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016. The company is required to transfer shares for which dividends have not been paid or claimed by shareholders for seven consecutive years to the IEPF Account.
ZEEL has previously communicated with affected shareholders individually. The company has also uploaded details of these shareholders on its website, www.zee.com. Shareholders who have unpaid or unclaimed dividends from FY 2019 to FY 2025 are urged to apply to the company or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, M/s MUFG Intime India Private Limited, by September 20, 2026.
If no claim is received by the specified date, the company will transfer the equity shares to the IEPF Authority. Both unclaimed dividends and the transferred shares, along with any accrued benefits, can be claimed from the IEPF Authority by the concerned shareholders. Original share certificates for physical shares will be deemed cancelled upon transfer, and demat accounts will be debited for shares held in dematerialized form.
Shareholders with queries can contact the Company Secretary via email at shareservice@zee.com or the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent.
