Bhopal — The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs jointly organised the fourth Investor Camp in Jaipur on December 6, 2025. The initiative aims to assist shareholders in reclaiming unclaimed dividends and shares, thereby reducing the volume of idle investor assets lying unclaimed in the financial system.
The camp was held with the support of major Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs) — NSE, BSE, CDSL and NSDL — along with leading Registrar and Transfer Agents (RTAs) including Kfin Technologies Ltd., MUFG Intime India Pvt Ltd., Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd., CAMS, and Purva Sharegistry India Pvt Ltd.
Senior officials including Binod Sharma, General Manager, SEBI; Ruvit Kumar, Joint Director, IEPFA; Sameeksha Lamba, DGM, IEPFA; and Aavishkar Naik, Senior Vice President, NSE, were present, along with other representatives from SEBI, IEPFA, MIIs and RTAs.
Strong Investor Participation
More than 301 investors and applicants from Jaipur and neighbouring regions participated in the day-long camp. A total of 22 dedicated service desks were set up to provide on-the-spot assistance on key issues, which included:
- Procedures for reclaiming dividends and shares left unclaimed for more than six years
- Immediate KYC and nominee detail updates
- Resolution of claim-related queries
- Processing of pending claims transferred to the IEPFA
Direct Support to Investors
The outreach programme helped investors move forward with claims that had remained unresolved for six to seven years. Many participants were able to update KYC and nomination information on the spot, while several pending IEPFA-related matters received direct guidance and processing support.
Multiple stakeholder companies and RTAs hosted separate counters, enabling investors to interact directly with authorised officials and bypass intermediaries. This direct-access model proved especially effective in ensuring clarity, transparency and faster assistance.
The Jaipur investor camp reaffirmed SEBI and IEPFA’s commitment to improving investor awareness, safeguarding investor wealth, and streamlining processes for the recovery of unclaimed financial assets across the country.
