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), organized a “Niveshak Shivir” in Amritsar on November 1, 2025. The one-day programme provided a single-window platform for investors to resolve issues related to unclaimed dividends, shares, and other investor services.

The event saw active participation from more than 223 investors from Amritsar and nearby areas. Senior officials including IEPFA CEO and Joint Secretary Anita Shah Akella, Lt. Col Aditya Sinha from IEPFA, and Binod Sharma from SEBI were present.

This was the third such camp in the series, following earlier editions in Pune and Hyderabad, and reflects IEPFA’s aim to create a more investor-friendly financial ecosystem. The camp enabled on-the-spot facilitation of long-pending dividend claims, KYC and nomination updates, and resolution of IEPFA-related cases through dedicated kiosks set up by RTAs and stakeholder companies.

An explainer video titled “Understanding the Process of Claiming Unpaid Dividends through IEPFA”, developed by CDSL IPF, was also launched to educate investors on how to track and claim unclaimed dividends.

The initiative received positive feedback for simplifying processes that typically take months, and is part of IEPFA’s larger outreach plan to target cities with high volumes of unclaimed investments—promoting transparency, awareness, and investor protection nationwide.
