Balmer Lawrie Investments has notified shareholders about the transfer of equity shares with unclaimed dividends for seven consecutive years to the Investor Education and Protection Fund.

Shares linked to unclaimed dividends from financial year 2017-18 onwards will be due for transfer by October 19, 2025. Impacted shareholders can prevent this by claiming their outstanding dividends and updating PAN/KYC details by this deadline through the Registrar and Transfer Agent.

Shares transferred to the fund will have frozen voting rights until claimed by the rightful owner.

This is crucial for investors to retain their holdings and rights.
