The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) jointly held the sixth Niveshak Shivir in Bhubaneswar as an investor outreach initiative to help shareholders reclaim unpaid dividends and unclaimed shares and reduce the stock of unclaimed investor assets. Run in collaboration with market infrastructure institutions (NSE, NSDL, BSE and CDSL) and registrar and transfer agents (KFin Technologies, MUFG Intime India, Bigshare Service and CAMS), the day-long camp drew over 285 investors and claimants. Service desks provided end-to-end support on claims for dividends and shares unclaimed for more than six years, on-the-spot updates to know-your-customer and nomination details, resolution of claim-related issues, and processing of pending claims submitted to IEPFA, with dedicated kiosks intended to allow direct interaction with officials without intermediaries. SEBI and IEPFA indicated that similar events are proposed in other cities with significant unclaimed investor assets.
