Hindustan Unilever Reopens One-Year Special Window for Legacy Physical Share Transfers

Hindustan Unilever Limited ( (IN:HINDUNILVR) ) just unveiled an update.

Hindustan Unilever has informed stock exchanges that, in line with a recent SEBI circular, a special window has been reopened for one year to re-lodge transfer requests of physical share certificates that were originally submitted before April 1, 2019 but were rejected, returned, or left unattended due to documentation or process deficiencies. The facility, running from February 5, 2026 to February 4, 2027, allows eligible investors to correct and resubmit such transfer deeds, with all approved transfers to be executed only in demat form and subject to a one-year lock-in on the newly issued securities.

The company has outlined the eligibility matrix for using this window and stressed that transferees must hold an active demat account, provide a Client Master List, original share certificates, and all other prescribed documents for scrutiny by its registrar, KFin Technologies. By publicizing the mechanism through national and regional newspapers, Hindustan Unilever is facilitating shareholder compliance with SEBI’s push toward dematerialisation, potentially reducing legacy issues around physical share transfers and improving the integrity and traceability of its share registry.
