LMW Ltd Shareholders Must Claim Unclaimed Dividends by August 2026

LMW Ltd has informed its shareholders that a critical deadline is approaching on August 28, 2026. After this date, shares linked to dividends that have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years will be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).

This regulatory requirement stems from Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013. The law mandates that any dividend amount unpaid for seven years from its due date must be transferred by the company to the IEPF, a government fund established to promote investor awareness and education.

Shareholders are specifically urged to claim unpaid dividends, particularly those related to the Final Dividend declared for the financial year 2018-19. Failure to submit claims by the August 28, 2026 deadline will result in the forfeiture of ownership rights to the associated shares, potentially leading to a permanent loss of investment for affected individuals.

This process of transferring unclaimed dividends and shares to the IEPF is a standard compliance obligation for all listed companies in India, overseen by SEBI regulations that ensure transparency and due diligence.

To reclaim their entitlements and retain ownership of their shares, shareholders must initiate the claim process with LMW Ltd promptly. After the August 28, 2026 deadline, LMW Ltd will proceed with the administrative transfer of the corresponding shares to the IEPF. Investors may wish to monitor the number of successful claims made before the cutoff and any subsequent communications from LMW Ltd regarding the transfer process.
