The South Indian Bank Ltd. has published a statutory notice in the Financial Express (All Editions) and Deepika (All Kerala Edition) dated May 13, 2026, intimating shareholders about the impending transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. The notice has been issued pursuant to Regulation 30 & 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and the applicable provisions of the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, effective from September 07, 2016, and subsequent amendments thereto.

Regulatory Basis for IEPF Transfer

Under the Rules notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, unpaid or unclaimed dividends are required to be transferred to the IEPF, along with the underlying equity shares in respect of which dividends have remained unclaimed or unpaid for seven consecutive years or more. Accordingly, all equity shares of South Indian Bank in respect of which dividends have not been claimed or paid for seven consecutive years from 2018-19 are liable to be transferred to the IEPF Authority.

Key Details and Shareholder Action Required

The bank has communicated individually with concerned shareholders at their registered addresses, providing details of unclaimed dividends for the seven consecutive years and the equity shares liable for transfer.

Shareholders who have not claimed dividends from 2018-19 onwards are advised to submit their claims to the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent or the bank's Registered Office on or before August 14, 2026. If no valid claim is received by this date, the bank will proceed to transfer the shares to the Demat account of the IEPF Authority.

Prior Transfers Already Completed

The bank has confirmed that equity shares of shareholders who did not claim dividends for a consecutive period of seven years covering the years 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18 have already been transferred to the Demat account of the IEPF Authority.

Process for Physical and Demat Shareholders

Shareholders holding shares in physical form whose shares are liable for transfer should note that the bank will inform the depository via corporate action to convert share certificates into Demat form for transfer to the IEPF. Upon such transfer, the original share certificates will be deemed cancelled and non-negotiable. For shareholders holding shares in Demat form, the bank will similarly inform the depository via corporate action to transfer the shares to the IEPF Authority's Demat account.

Reclaim Process from IEPF

Shareholders whose shares and unclaimed dividends—including all benefits accruing on such shares—have been transferred to the IEPF Authority may reclaim them by:

Filing an online application in the prescribed Form IEPF-5

Sending a physical copy of the duly signed form (as per specimen signature recorded with the company) along with requisite original documents to the Nodal Officer of the company

The bank has clarified that details uploaded on its website shall be deemed adequate notice for the purpose of transfer of shares to IEPF, and no claim shall lie against the company in respect of unclaimed dividend amounts and equity shares transferred to the IEPF. The notice has been signed by Jimmy Mathew, Company Secretary, South Indian Bank Ltd., dated May 12, 2026, from Thrissur.
