Godrej Consumer Products Limited has announced the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) by September 2026. This move is in compliance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The company has published newspaper advertisements in the Financial Express and Loksatta on May 22, 2026, informing shareholders about the dispatch of notices regarding the transfer. The notices have been sent to shareholders whose dividends have remained unpaid or unclaimed for a period of seven consecutive years.
Godrej Consumer Products has engaged MUG Link Intime India Private Limited to send individual communications to the concerned shareholders at their last known registered addresses. The company has urged these shareholders to claim their unclaimed dividend amounts and equity shares by August 10, 2026, to avoid the transfer of their shares to the IEPF.
A list of shareholders whose dividends are unclaimed for seven years and whose shares are liable for transfer to the IEPF is available on the company’s website. Shareholders are advised to forward the requisite documents to the company’s Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Link Intime India Private Limited, to claim their dividends and shares.
In the absence of a valid claim by the specified date, the company will proceed with the transfer of the said equity shares to the IEPF account.
