Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Limited has announced the transfer of equity shares, for which dividends have not been claimed for seven consecutive years or more, to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is in compliance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and related rules.

The bank has published a notice regarding this in the Financial Express (English) and Hosadigantha (Kannada) on January 19, 2026. Ujjivan Financial Services Limited (now merged with Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Limited) had declared dividends for FY 2018-19, and shares associated with unclaimed dividends from this period will be transferred to the IEPF Authority by April 20, 2026.

Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends are urged to do so before April 20, 2026. Failure to claim will result in their shares, along with any unclaimed dividends and accrued benefits, being transferred to the IEPF Authority. The bank has also sent individual notices to concerned shareholders and details are available on the bank's website. Shareholders can claim transferred shares and dividends from the IEPF Authority by submitting an online application (e-form IEPF-5) and the requisite documents.
