Key services include direct facilitation of unclaimed dividends held for six to seven years, on-the-spot updates of Know Your Customer (KYC) details and nomination, and resolution of pending claims with IEPFA.
Niveshak Shivir seeks to streamline investor services by removing intermediaries and fostering direct engagement between investors, companies, and Registrars and Transfer Agents (RTAs), the Ministry of Corporate Affairs said.
Companies with significant unclaimed dividend accounts will participate through dedicated kiosks at the event, enabling immediate redressal of investor grievances, it added.
The Pune pilot is the first in a planned series of camps across cities with a high concentration of unclaimed investments. This outreach reflects IEPFA’s commitment to creating a secure, transparent, and investor-centric financial ecosystem.
Investors are encouraged to participate in the camp to resolve their pending claims and update their account details.
