Overview:Recovery of JSW Steel Shares from IEPF

One of the top steel makers in India is JSW Steel, a member of the JSW Group. Jindal Vijayanagar Steel Ltd., the company's original name when it was created in 1982, was replaced by JSW Steel in 2005. JSW Steel, which has its headquarters in Mumbai, is a prominent player in the global steel industry and has a significant domestic presence. The company's installed manufacturing capacity as of October 2022 is 28.5 MTPA. In the financial year ending in March 2024, the business plans to increase the capacity of all steel production to 39 MTPA. The dividend rate for the 2021-2022 financial year was 20%. The amount of unclaimed dividends as of August 31, 2022, is Rs. 11,53,078.

What happens if some members fail to claim their share of the dividend?

A company must pay a dividend to all qualified shareholders when it announces a dividend. But occasionally, shareholders could forget to claim their dividends because of ignorance or a change of address. The dividends are known as "unclaimed dividends" or "unclaimed funds" if certain shareholders fail to claim their part of the distribution. The company must keep these unclaimed dividends for seven years per regulatory requirements.

Unclaimed dividends are often sent to a government organization or regulatory body after the deadline, like India's Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). To safeguard investor interests and advance investor education, the IEPF manages the transfer of unclaimed dividends and other assets to a fund. To prevent missing out on dividend payments, it is crucial for shareholders to be informed about their eligibility for dividends and to make sure that the company has their most current contact information.

Investor Education and Protection Fund and the Importance of Being Aware of Its Role in Protecting the Investors

In India, a regulatory organization called Guidance to Investors on various topics, the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), is responsible for safeguarding investor interests and advancing investor education. The IEPF is crucial in protecting shareholder interests and ensuring businesses abide by the numerous investor protection legislation. By offering tools and advice to investors on a range of investing-related topics, including investment dangers, rights of the investor and investment scams, the IEPF promotes investor education. This aids investors in making wise choices and preventing them from falling for false scams. The IEPF is essential in enforcing laws pertaining to investor protection.

All investors in India should be aware of the IEPF and its function in protecting investors. Investors who are aware of the IEPF's plans and operations can take action to safeguard their interests and make sure they receive the assets to which they are legally entitled.

Process of recovering shares from Investor Education and Protection Fund

There are various steps that must be performed in order to retrieve shares from IEPF.

• First, the applicant must complete the application form with all the required information, such as
• Personal data
• specifics on the shares to be claimed
• year-by-year information regarding securities/deposits, and
• Bank account information for reimbursement.
• If the applicant is an NRI or foreign national, they must provide an Aadhaar number, passport, OCI, or PIO card number.
• After completing the application form, the claimant must send it to the Nodal Officer/Registrar of the business that owes the money, together with the necessary supporting Paper works. The claimant must send the following:-
• A printout of the completed Form IEPF-5 with their signature, together with Paper works of their eligibility,
• Original share certificates,
• An indemnity bond.
• A copy of the acknowledgement with the SRN number,
• A stamped advance receipt with the claimant's and the witness's signatures, and
• A copy of the Demat account's client master list should also be provided.

• After receiving the claim form, the employer has 15 days to compile a verification report and send it to the IEPF Authorities with the claimant's supporting materials. The IEPF Authority has 60 days to issue a sanction order for the claimed refund after it receives the verification report and confirms the claimant's application.
• The IEPF Authority will submit a bill to the pay and accounts officer for payment after determining the claimant's eligibility, and the claimant's Demat account will be credited with the shares or the whole value of their rights. To achieve a seamless and effective recovery of HDFC shares from IEPF, all required processes must be followed.

Transmission of shares

Shares may be transferred from the original shareholder to a claimant or legal heir for a number of reasons, including death, insolvency, insanity, marriage, or other legal justifications. This process is known as the transmission of shares. The legal heir must submit an application for the transfer together with a number of required necessary papers in order to start the transfer of shares.

In addition to a letter of administration, a probate of the will, a certificate of succession, and a sample of the legal heir's or successor's signature, these necessary papers frequently include a certified copy of the original shareholder's death certificate. A self-attested copy of the legal heir's or successor's PAN is further needed. Although the transfer of shares can be a difficult and lengthy process, it is essential to guarantee that ownership is transferred efficiently and adequately. The legal heir can guarantee that they obtain the shares to which they are entitled by supplying the proper papers and following the required processes.

Transfer of shares

The original shareholder may decide to give another person, known as the transferee, ownership of the shares during the transfer procedure in exchange for consideration. The transferee receives the obligations of the original shareholder related to the shares upon the completion of the transfer, and the transferor is released from those obligations.

A transfer deed is used to carry out the transfer. The legal transfer of share ownership from the transferor to the transferee is made more accessible by this necessary paper. The transfer necessary paper contains information on the transferor and transferee as well as the specifics of the shares being transferred. By transferring shares through a transfer deed, the transferor is released from liability, and the transferee takes ownership of the shares in a legal capacity. This crucial step in the transfer of shares makes sure that it is done in a way that is enforceable and legally binding.

IEPF Dividend Recovery

A company's gains are distributed to its shareholders as a dividend, which may take the form of cash, shares, or other distributions chosen by the board of directors. Dividends are typically paid out once a year. A payout, however, becomes an unclaimed dividend if it remains unclaimed for seven years and is then transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).

For a variety of reasons, including faulty share transfer or transmission, inaccurate shareholder records, and unclaimed bonus shares, shareholders can fail to receive their dividends. These investors could thereby pass up on attractive items that are legally theirs.

At our company, we recognize how crucial it is to help our clients collect their unclaimed profits from the IEPF without encountering any legal issues.
