Bandhan Bank Limited has announced the opening of a special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of its physical securities. This window will be open for a period of one year, from February 05, 2026, to February 04, 2027. This initiative is in accordance with SEBI Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026. The special window aims to facilitate the transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities that were sold or purchased prior to April 01, 2019. It will also cater to requests for transfer of shares in physical mode that were previously rejected or not attended to due to deficiencies in documentation or process. Cases involving disputes between transferor and transferee, and securities that have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) will not be considered under this special window. Requests must be accompanied by original security certificates and transfer deeds. Securities transferred through this window will be mandatorily credited in demat mode and will be under a lock-in period of one year from the date of registration of transfer. Eligible shareholders can submit their requests to the Bank's Registrar and Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited, or directly to the Bank's Head Office. The bank also published newspaper notices regarding this in 'The Financial Express' (English and Gujarati) and 'Ei Samay' (Bengali) on March 02, 2026.
