Dear Member(s),

corresponding equity shares of Paul Merchants Limited to the Investor

Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Account

This is to inform you that pursuant to Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the

Act") read with the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting,

Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, as amended from time to time ("the Rules"),

all unpaid or unclaimed dividends are required to be transferred by the Company to

the Investor Education and Protection Fund ("IEPF") established by the Central

Government, after the expiry of seven years from the date of transfer to the unpaid

dividend account.

Details of Unclaimed Dividends:

As per the records of the Company and its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent

("RTA"), M/s Alankit Assignments Limited, the corporate dividend amount(s)

indicated in the overleaf letter remain unpaid or unclaimed against your DP ID & Client

ID / Folio Account. The Company has, from time to time, issued reminders requesting

members to claim such outstanding amounts. Please note that the details of unpaid

and unclaimed dividends are regularly updated on the website of the IEPF Authority

at www.iepf.gov.in as well as on the Company's website at

www.paulmerchants.net.

Transfer of Dividends and Equity Shares to IEPF:

The interim dividend pertaining to the Financial Year 2019-20 (declared on August 6,

accounts are fully KYC-compliant. In terms of relevant SEBI Master Circulars,

a folio/account must possess full registration of vital parameters, including your

active bank details, mobile number, email ID, and a valid PAN linked to Aadhaar,

failing which electronic remittance of outstanding corporate payments cannot



Restraining Orders / Pledges: Pursuant to the Rules, the Company shall not

execute a transfer of shares to the IEPF where there is a specific order of a

Court, Tribunal, or Statutory Authority restraining such a transfer and payment

of dividend, or where such shares are pledged or hypothecated under the

provisions of the Depositories Act, 1996. If your holdings are subject to any

such restraint, please provide an attested copy of the specific Court/Tribunal

order to our RTA immediately to enable the Company to take note of the same.



Cessation of Corporate Claims: In case the dividends are not claimed by the

specified date of August 16, 2026, the Company will initiate necessary

corporate action with the Depositories to debit your demat account and transfer

the relevant shares in favor of the IEPF Authority without any further notice.

Please note that subsequent to such a transfer, all future benefits accruing on

these shares (including future cash dividends, bonus shares, splits, or

consolidations) will credit directly to the IEPF, and no claim shall lie against the

Company in respect of the shares and dividend amounts so transferred.

Reclaiming from the IEPF Authority:

Members who wish to claim their dividends and shares back from the IEPF Authority

after the transfer may do so by submitting an online application in the prescribed e-
