As part of the ongoing celebrations under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), functioning under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of India, is set to organize a ‘Niveshak Shivir’ in Amritsar on November 1, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This important initiative, held in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), aims to empower investors, promote financial literacy, and streamline the grievance redressal process for unclaimed dividends and shares.
The Niveshak Shivir represents a significant step forward in IEPFA’s mission to ensure investor protection and awareness. By creating a direct interface between investors, companies, and Registrar and Transfer Agents (RTAs), the program seeks to eliminate intermediaries and simplify the process of reclaiming unclaimed financial assets. This innovative model allows for immediate on-the-spot grievance redressal, making it a true one-stop solution for investors seeking assistance.
At the Amritsar Shivir, investors will have access to multiple facilitation services, including:
- Direct resolution of unclaimed dividend and share-related issues, especially for dividends held for six to seven years or longer.
- On-the-spot KYC (Know Your Customer) and nomination updates, ensuring compliance and ease of transactions.
- Assistance with pending IEPFA claim issues, with officials available on-site to guide investors through the process.
Participating companies with significant unclaimed dividend accounts will engage directly with investors during the event, providing a unique opportunity for face-to-face interaction and resolution. Dedicated service kiosks will also be set up to address queries efficiently and transparently.
This initiative aligns with IEPFA’s broader national outreach program that emphasizes financial literacy, transparency, and investor empowerment. Through such grassroots efforts, IEPFA continues to work toward building a secure and investor-centric financial ecosystem that supports the vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India).
The Niveshak Shivir in Amritsar is expected to draw participation from a wide range of stakeholders, including local investors, company representatives, RTAs, and financial literacy advocates. The event will be hosted at:
Venue: Jashn E Mahal (Banquet Hall), Dr. Surat Singh Road, near Railway Crossing, Guru Arjun Nagar Kot Khalsa, Amritsar – 143002
Date & Time: 1st November 2025, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
