Investor protection measures are sharpening as regulatory bodies and listed companies reinforce compliance with unclaimed dividend and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. SEBI’s Appellate Authority is actively reviewing Right to Information (RTI) requests concerning PACL refunds, highlighting ongoing efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in resolving investor disputes. Simultaneously, several financial institutions, including J&K Bank, VLS Finance, and Trident Limited, are proactively notifying shareholders about impending transfers of unclaimed dividends and shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), underscoring the importance of timely KYC updates and dividend claims to safeguard investor interests. These actions collectively signal a heightened focus on safeguarding investor assets and promoting responsible corporate governance.
