Sanofi India Flags Transfer of Dormant Shareholdings to IEPF

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Sanofi India Limited ( (IN:SANOFI) ) has provided an announcement.

Sanofi India Limited has notified stock exchanges that it has published newspaper advertisements alerting shareholders whose dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more. In line with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013 and related IEPF rules, such shareholders’ equity shares are now liable to be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority, underscoring the company’s compliance with regulatory requirements and the need for affected investors to regularise their holdings.

The move ensures alignment with Indian corporate governance and investor protection norms, potentially leading to a clean-up of dormant share accounts on the company’s register. While operational impact on Sanofi India is limited, the action has implications for long-inactive shareholders, who risk losing direct ownership of their shares unless they act to claim pending dividends and prevent transfer to the IEPF mechanism.
