Aarti Industries has announced the launch of the ‘Saksham Niveshak’ campaign, a 100-day initiative aimed at assisting shareholders in claiming unpaid or unclaimed dividends. The campaign, which runs from April 1, 2026, to July 9, 2026, seeks to engage shareholders proactively by updating essential records and expediting the dividend claiming process.
The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, has initiated this campaign to prevent unwarranted share transfers to the IEPFA and facilitate direct settlement of claims by companies. Aarti Industries is urging its shareholders to update their PAN, nomination details, contact information, bank account details, and specimen signatures with the Registrar & Share Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited, or their respective Depository Participants.
Shareholders are advised to ensure that their bank details are registered against their accounts, as dividends are payable only through electronic modes. The necessary forms for KYC updation and claiming unpaid dividends are available on the websites of the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent and Aarti Industries.
Aarti Industries will also be sending letters or emails to shareholders with details about unpaid dividends and the process for claiming them. Shareholders are encouraged to claim their dividends to avoid their transfer to the IEPF authority. The company has uploaded the details of unclaimed dividends on its website.
In cases where dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years, the corresponding equity shares will be transferred to the IEPF Authority, in line with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs’ notifications. Shareholders whose dividends or shares have been transferred to the IEPF can reclaim them by submitting Form IEPF-5 online and sending the required physical documents to the company or RTA.
The company urges shareholders to submit their documents by July 9, 2026, to support the success of this campaign. For further assistance, shareholders can contact Aarti Industries or MUFG Intime India Private Limited.
