Himadri Speciality Chemical has announced the launch of its ‘Saksham Niveshak’ campaign, a 100-day initiative running from 1 April 2026 to 9 July 2026. The campaign aims to encourage shareholders to update their KYC details and claim any pending dividends to prevent the transfer of dividends and shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).
The campaign is part of a broader effort by the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to ensure that shareholders can directly claim their dividends without third-party intervention, thereby promoting transparency and investor empowerment.
Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends for any financial years from 2018-19 to 2024-25, or who have not updated their KYC and nomination details, are encouraged to contact the company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, S. K. Infosolutions Pvt. Ltd., to resolve any issues related to unclaimed dividends and shares.
The company emphasises the importance of updating KYC information, which includes PAN, nomination details, contact information, bank account details, and specimen signatures, as dividends are payable only through electronic mode. The updated information will ensure that the dividend amounts are credited directly to shareholders’ bank accounts.
For demat shareholders, KYC updates can be made through their Depository Participant (DP), while physical shareholders can download the necessary KYC forms from the company’s website or the RTA’s website.
Shareholders are urged to submit the required forms, such as Form ISR-1 for KYC updates, Form ISR-2 for banker’s attestation, Form SH-13 for adding a nominee, and Form ISR-3 for opting out of nomination, either by post or email to the RTA.
Details of unclaimed dividends from FY 2018-19 to FY 2024-25 are available on the company’s website. Shareholders are advised to act promptly to avoid the transfer of their dividends to the IEPF authority.
For further assistance or queries related to the ‘Saksham Niveshak’ campaign, shareholders can contact the company via email at [email protected] or [email protected].
