B & A Limited has announced that it will transfer equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) for shareholders whose dividends have remained unclaimed for seven years or more.

This applies to both physical and dematerialized shares.

To prevent this transfer, affected shareholders must submit a claim by October 31st, 2025. Unclaimed physical share certificates will be cancelled, and new ones issued to IEPF, while demat shares will be directly transferred.

Although shares can be reclaimed from IEPF later, this process impacts investors with dormant dividend accounts.
