Natural Capsules Ltd Joins IEPF's 'Saksham Niveshak' Drive
Natural Capsules Ltd has joined the 'Saksham Niveshak' campaign, an initiative designed to help shareholders reclaim unpaid or unclaimed dividends.
The campaign, a 100-day initiative requested by the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPF), runs from April 1, 2026, to July 9, 2026.
Company Announcement
Natural Capsules announced its participation in the 'Saksham Niveshak' initiative, a 100-day campaign led by the IEPF Authority. The campaign's main goal is to connect with shareholders who have unpaid or unclaimed dividends from FY2018 to FY2024. Natural Capsules will help shareholders update their Know Your Customer (KYC), contact, and bank details to facilitate claims for these pending dividends.
Importance for Shareholders
This initiative offers shareholders a defined period to claim their entitlements before they are transferred to the IEPF, promoting better investor relations and financial transparency. For Natural Capsules, it's a chance to enhance investor services and reduce its liability for unclaimed dividends.
Company and IEPF Background
Natural Capsules Ltd. produces hard gelatin capsules used in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals for delivering medicines and supplements. The IEPF is a statutory body under India's Ministry of Corporate Affairs. It promotes investor awareness and manages the Investor Education and Protection Fund, which holds unclaimed dividends and shares from companies. 'Saksham Niveshak' is one of the IEPF's programs aimed at resolving investor issues and helping recover unclaimed funds.
Action for Shareholders
