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), successfully launched the pilot chapter of Niveshak Shivir in Pune today. The initiative is a part of IEPFA’s continued mission to empower investors and strengthen financial literacy. The event marked a significant step in facilitating direct engagement with investors and addressing unresolved financial claims.
In line with IEPFA’s broader investor outreach initiatives, Niveshak Shivir was conceptualised to assist investors in resolving pending issues related to unclaimed dividends and shares, updating KYC and nomination details, and facilitating faster settlements of claims – all under one roof.
Over 450 claimants participated enthusiastically in the event, which attracted investors and stakeholders from Pune and nearby regions. Dedicated service desks were established to assist attendees effectively with:
- Claiming dividends and shares that have remained unclaimed for over six to seven years;
- On-the-spot updating of KYC and nomination details;
- Prompt resolution of claim-related issues.
