PNB Gilts Ltd. has issued a notice informing shareholders that equity shares on which dividends have remained unpaid or unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more will be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. Shareholders are urged to claim their unpaid dividends from FY 2017-18 onwards by submitting the required documents to avoid transfer of their shares. Upon transfer, the original share certificates will be cancelled, and shareholders can reclaim their shares and dividends only through the IEPF authority following the prescribed procedure. Queries can be addressed to the company’s registrar or compliance officer.
