Claim your shares and money lying with the IEPF

Live Mint  

Did you know that more than ₹5,000 crore is lying with the Investor Education and Protection Fund in the form of unclaimed dividends on shares and interest on bonds and debentures, besides 1.16 billion unclaimed shares. Such amounts—dividends, application money, matured deposits/ debentures —that are unclaimed by investors for seven years are transferred to the IEPF. Government of India'established the IEPFA in 2016 to facilitate refund of shares; unclaimed dividends, matured deposits/debentures; share application money to investors. Investors should realise that it is important to get their shares dematerialized, else, they could meet the fate similar to those investors whose unclaimed securities are lying with the IEPF. After 31 December 2025, these frozen folios will be referred by the RTA /listed company to the administering authority under the Benami Transactions Act, 1988 and/or Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
