Petronet LNG Limited has announced the launch of its Second 100 days Campaign, titled ‘Saksham Niveshak’, aimed at assisting shareholders in updating their details and claiming unpaid or unclaimed dividends. This initiative, running from 1 April 2026 to 9 July 2026, seeks to prevent the transfer of unclaimed dividends to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).
The campaign follows an earlier national drive by the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, which ran from 28 July to 6 November 2025. The initial campaign focused on empowering shareholders by raising awareness about unclaimed dividends and guiding them through the process of updating their KYC and nomination details.
Petronet LNG has been proactive in its approach, having already dispatched annual communications to shareholders detailing pending dividends and urging them to update their KYC records. These efforts are now part of the broader ‘Saksham Niveshak’ campaign, which aims to facilitate direct payment of unclaimed dividends to shareholders.
Key actions under this campaign include proactive engagement with shareholders to update their KYC, bank mandates, and contact information. The company also aims to ensure timely processing of dividend claims and related requests, prevent unnecessary transfers of shares to IEPFA, and enable direct claim settlements.
Shareholders are encouraged to update their PAN, nomination details, contact information, bank account details, and specimen signature with the company or its Registrar & Transfer Agent, Bigshare Services Private Limited. Unpaid or unclaimed dividends on equity shares are payable only through electronic mode to the shareholder’s bank account after the required KYC information is updated in their respective demat accounts.
Petronet LNG has provided detailed instructions for shareholders holding shares in physical mode to submit necessary forms, such as Form ISR-1, ISR-2, SH-13, and ISR-3, to claim their dividends. Shareholders holding shares in demat mode are required to submit a duly signed request letter, a self-attested copy of the Client Master List, and a cancelled cheque.
The company will send letters or emails to shareholders with details about unpaid dividends and the process for claiming them. Shareholders are urged to act promptly to avoid the transfer of dividends to the IEPF authority.
