The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) organised a Niveshak Shivir in Bengaluru on 3 January 2026 in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), market infrastructure institutions, and registrars and transfer agents. The one-day investor facilitation camp provided a single-window platform for resolving issues linked to unclaimed dividends, unclaimed shares, and pending IEPFA claims. It also aimed to improve investor awareness and reduce delays in grievance redressal.
Investor Facilitation Drive
The camp was held at Sri Y Muniswamappa Kalyaana Mantapa in Yeswanthpur, Bengaluru. More than 900 investors and claimants from Bengaluru and nearby areas participated. The initiative offered direct support for claim processing, grievance resolution, and investor service assistance. It focused on bringing services closer to citizens through on-the-spot facilitation.
Services Offered at the Camp
- Resolution of unclaimed dividend and share-related issues.
- Support for pending IEPFA claims.
- On-the-spot KYC and nomination updates.
- Direct interaction with company representatives and RTAs.
- Assistance through dedicated kiosks to reduce intermediary dependence.
Institutional Participation
The event was attended by senior officials from IEPFA, SEBI, MIIs, and RTAs. Key dignitaries included the CEO of IEPFA and senior officers from SEBI, CDSL, BSE, and IEPFA. Their presence brought into light inter-institutional coordination in investor protection and claim settlement.
Significance of the Initiative
The Bengaluru camp followed earlier editions in Pune, Hyderabad, Jaipur, and Amritsar. It forms part of IEPFA’s nationwide outreach programme in cities with large volumes of unclaimed investments. The initiative strengthens investor confidence, improves transparency, and supports faster resolution of long-pending financial claims.
