The transfer is mandated under Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016 (IEPF Rules). All dividends which remain unclaimed or for which no claim has been made by shareholders for a period of seven years or more are required to be transferred to the IEPF account established by the Central Government.

Shareholders are notified that the unclaimed amount for the financial year 2019-20 will be transferred to the IEPF on the due date of transfer, which is 18th December 2026. To claim these amounts before the transfer, shareholders must submit a request with their DP ID/Client ID or Folio No. to einward.ris@kfintech.com. This request must be accompanied by a copy of their PAN card, address proof, and the original cheque leaf (for cancelled cheques) sent to KFin Technologies Ltd, the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), or to the company itself.

If no claim is received by the RTA/company on or before 18th December 2026, the company will proceed to transfer the concerned shares to the IEPF Authority as per the procedure prescribed under the IEPF Rules, without any further notice.

For shareholders holding physical shares that are to be transferred to the IEPF, they must first surrender the original share certificates to the company for dematerialization. New share certificates will be issued in the name of the depository participant for credit to the IEPF Authority's demat account. The original physical share certificates will become void and non-negotiable upon issuance of the new ones.

The notice clarifies that no claim shall lie against the company in respect of any unclaimed amount and shares once they are transferred to the IEPF pursuant to the provisions of the said rules.

A separate section of the document details a special window for re-lodgement of physical share transfer requests, as mandated by SEBI circular No. HO/38/13/11(2) 2026-MIRSD-PoD/I/3750/2026 dated 30th January, 2026. This window is open for one year, from 5th February 2026 to 4th February 2027. It is specifically for transfer deeds that were executed and lodged for transfer before 1st April 2019 but were rejected/returned/not attended to due to deficiencies, provided the original security certificate is still available. Securities re-lodged during this period will be issued only in demat mode.

For any queries or clarifications, shareholders are instructed to contact the RTA, KFin Technologies Ltd, or the company at its corporate office.
