NOV 02: The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), successfully organized the “Niveshak Shivir” in Amritsar on 1st November 2025. The one-day outreach program aimed to empower investors and provide direct support for resolving issues related to unclaimed dividends, shares, and KYC updates.
The event saw the participation of over 223 investors from Amritsar and nearby districts. It was graced by Smt. Anita Shah Akella, CEO, IEPFA and Joint Secretary, MCA; Lt. Col. Aditya Sinha, General Manager, IEPFA; and Shri Binod Sharma, General Manager, SEBI, along with senior officers from MIIs and RTAs.
The Niveshak Shivir acted as a single-window facilitation platform, offering on-the-spot dividend claim support, nomination updates, and direct interaction with Registrar and Transfer Agents (RTAs) and company representatives — helping investors resolve long-pending issues instantly. The initiative enabled the settlement of claims pending for over six years and eliminated the need for intermediaries, ensuring greater transparency and trust.
In a major highlight, IEPFA and SEBI, along with CDSL IPF, launched an explainer video titled “Understanding the Process of Claiming Unpaid Dividends through IEPFA.” The video simplifies the claim process and educates investors about the importance of timely dividend management.
Following its successful editions in Pune and Hyderabad, the Amritsar camp reaffirmed IEPFA’s commitment to creating an investor-centric financial ecosystem, promoting awareness, accessibility, and accountability in India’s capital markets.
