Ramkrishna Forgings has initiated the ‘Saksham Niveshak’ campaign, a 100-day drive aimed at reaching shareholders with unpaid or unclaimed dividends. The campaign, running from 1 April to 9 July 2026, is in response to a request by the Investor’s Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
The primary goal of the ‘Saksham Niveshak’ initiative is to create awareness among shareholders to update their details and claim any unpaid or unclaimed dividends before these funds are transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Shareholders are encouraged to update their Permanent Account Number (PAN), nomination details, contact information, bank account details, and specimen signatures with the company or its Registrar & Transfer Agent, Kfin Technologies Limited.
For shareholders with unpaid or unclaimed dividends, the amount will be credited to their bank accounts only after the necessary information and documents are updated. Physical shareholders are advised to complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) updates accordingly.
Shareholders are required to submit specific forms, including Form ISR-1 for KYC updates, Form ISR-2 for bank attestation and cheque submission, Form SH-13 for adding a nominee, and Form ISR-3 for opting out of nomination. These forms can be dispatched via post, email, or uploaded online through Kfintech’s portal.
Shareholders holding shares in electronic form can claim their dividends by updating their details with their respective Depository Participants. The company will also send letters or emails to shareholders with details about their unpaid dividends and the process for claiming them.
Ramkrishna Forgings has made available the list of unclaimed or unpaid dividends for the past seven years on its website. Shareholders are urged to act promptly to prevent the transfer of their dividends to the IEPF authority.
For further assistance or queries regarding the ‘Saksham Niveshak’ campaign, shareholders can contact the company at [email protected] or [email protected].
