IEPF –CLAIM YOUR UNPAID DIVIDEND AND SHARES

If you or your family have funds lying with IEPF, it is time to track and claim your dues.

Crores of rupees in unclaimed money - right from old Equity Shares amounts to share application money, Dividend, Debentures, Interest of Debentures and many more - is piling up but rightful owners are yet to get their hands on it. 

Recently the government has decided to take those shares in which dividends and corporate benefits were unclaimed for last seven years. There are several reasons why the dividend does not get claimed. 

•  You might have lost track of the funds owed to you. 
•  Or a company/financial institution might have failed to locate you for dividend payment as contact and bank details change over the years but are not updated on a   regular  basis. 
•  Even nominees and legal heirs may fail to stake a claim if they are not aware of such assets - it is often the case if one dies without making a will.
•  You were not aware of the investments made by your parents/; neither you had the complete records of those investments.

As per Section 124(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 any dividend remaining unclaimed for a period of 7 (seven) consecutive years will be transferred by the Company to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) established by the Central Government.

As per the current regulations, dividends declared by companies/mutual funds must be claimed by investors within 30 days of the notification failing which the entire amount will be transferred to a new 'unpaid dividend account' within the next seven days. Investors can claim that amount from this new account during the next seven years
