TGV Sraac Ltd has announced a special one-year window for its physical shareholders to submit share transfer requests for deeds executed before April 1, 2019. This period runs from February 5, 2026, to February 4, 2027.
Alongside this, the company is conducting its 'Saksham Niveshak' campaign from April 1 to July 9, 2026. The initiative aims to encourage shareholders to update their Know Your Customer (KYC) details and convert physical share certificates to demat (electronic) form.
Shareholders are advised to use these opportunities to regularize their holdings, claim any unclaimed dividends, and ensure smooth future dividend payments. Failure to update KYC or convert physical shares risks them being transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPF).
This move aligns with a broader regulatory push by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to phase out physical shares, enhance market transparency, and streamline shareholder records. Companies like Berger Paints India Limited and Venus Remedies Ltd. have also opened similar one-year windows (February 5, 2026 – February 4, 2027) to process older transfer requests, following SEBI's directives. TGV Sraac itself has previously held similar drives.
The chemicals sector company operates alongside peers such as Andhra Sugars, Indo Borax & Chemicals, DCW, and Tamilnadu Petroproducts, and its current action reflects a wider industry trend toward dematerialization.
Shareholders who miss this special transfer window might face greater difficulties regularizing their holdings later. Dividends unclaimed for seven years are transferred to the IEPF, necessitating a more complex retrieval process. Physical shares not converted to demat could also encounter future issues with dividend crediting and liquidity.
Investors will likely track the response rate to the transfer window and KYC campaign, the number of unclaimed dividends claimed, and how many shares are eventually transferred to the IEPF. Company announcements on the progress of these initiatives will also be of interest.
