SEBI & IEPFA Host Investor Camp in Punjab to Recover Unclaimed Assets
Imagine you have some money or stocks from a company that you forgot about, or maybe you never received the official papers.
This is like 'unclaimed' money.
Two organizations in India, SEBI and IEPFA, want to help people get this money back.
They held a special event in a city called Amritsar where people could go.
At this event, they had helpers to guide you on how to claim your forgotten dividends or shares, especially if it's been more than six years.
They also helped people update their information and fix any problems with their claims.
The goal is to make sure people get back what's rightfully theirs and to clear out old, unclaimed money.
They even made a video to explain how it all works.
SEBI and IEPFA jointly organized an investor camp in Amritsar, Punjab, on November 1.
The event, 'Niveshak Shivir', aimed to help investors reclaim unpaid dividends and unclaimed shares older than six years.
Over 223 investors participated, receiving assistance with claims, KYC updates, and nominations.
The initiative collaborates with major stock exchanges (BSE, NSE) and depositories (CDSL, NSDL).
An explainer video on claiming unpaid dividends through IEPFA was launched during the camp.
