Key Quantitative Figures & Timeframe

The dividends in question pertain to seven consecutive financial years:

  • 2018-19
  • 2019-20
  • 2020-21
  • 2021-22
  • 2022-23
  • 2023-24
  • 2024-25

The specific warrant numbers and monetary amounts for each year are listed in an enclosed table but are left blank in the provided data. The critical deadline is that any money in the Unpaid Dividend Account that remains unclaimed for a period of seven years from the date of transfer will be moved to the IEPF.

Parties Involved

  • Issuing Company: Somany Ceramics Limited
  • Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA): Maheshwari Datamatics Private Limited
  • Regulatory Authority: Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPF Authority)

Purpose and Rationale

The purpose is to inform shareholders of their unclaimed dividends and to prompt them to take immediate action to claim these funds before the statutory deadline for transfer to the IEPF is reached. The disclosure is a compliance requirement under the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI regulations.

Required Action from Shareholders

Shareholders are requested to immediately make an application to the RTA, Maheshwari Datamatics Pvt. Ltd., to claim their outstanding dividends. The application must include documentation to register correct bank details:

  • For Demat Holdings: A copy of the Client Master List (CML) showing name, address, and bank details OR an original cancelled cheque leaf bearing the first holder's name.
  • For Physical Holdings: Duly filled and signed forms ISR-1, ISR-2, ISR-3, or Nomination Form, along with an original cancelled cheque leaf or a bank-attested copy of the first page of a passbook/statement and a cancelled cheque.

The letter explicitly states that no payment can be made in the absence of complete bank details.

Financial and Operational Impact

The direct financial impact is on the individual shareholders who stand to lose their dividend income if not claimed. For the company, it represents the fulfillment of a regulatory obligation and the eventual removal of these liabilities from its books once transferred to the IEPF. The shares themselves, if associated with dividends unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more, are also required to be transferred to the demat account of the IEPF Authority.
