Bengaluru | 6 January 2026 : The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, successfully organised a one-day investor facilitation camp titled “Niveshak Shivir” in Bengaluru on 3 January 2026. The event was held at Sri Y. Muniswamappa Kalyaana Mantapa, Yeswanthpur, and aimed at resolving issues related to unclaimed dividends, shares, and pending IEPFA claims.
Organised in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs), the camp served as a single-window platform for grievance redressal, claim facilitation, and investor services. Over 900 investors from Bengaluru and nearby regions participated enthusiastically.
The event was graced by Anita Shah Akella, CEO, IEPFA and Joint Secretary, Ministry of Corporate Affairs; senior officials from SEBI and IEPFA; and representatives from MIIs, including Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), along with Registrars and Transfer Agents (RTAs).
During the camp, IEPFA also launched an explainer booklet titled “A Complete Guide to IEPFA Claims and Investor Services”, aimed at enhancing investor awareness and enabling smooth claim resolution.
The Niveshak Shivir facilitated on-the-spot KYC and nomination updates, resolution of claims pending for six to seven years, and direct interaction with company representatives and RTAs through dedicated kiosks—eliminating the need for intermediaries. Participants widely appreciated the initiative for its transparency, efficiency, and time-bound resolution of grievances.
Following successful editions in Pune, Hyderabad, Jaipur, and Amritsar, Bengaluru marked another milestone in IEPFA’s nationwide outreach programme. The initiative reinforces IEPFA’s commitment to building an investor-centric, transparent, and accessible financial ecosystem while safeguarding investor interests across India.
