Sir my client has declared dividend and issued a cheque but shareholder did not presented within 30 days and later on company re-validated the cheque otherwise it would have been dishonored, finally dividend was paid after six months when shareholder presented cheque to bank. will it be regarded as unclaimed dividend and Companies provisions regarding transferring it into "unpaid dividend " apply ???

Yes the provisions of unpaid dividend would apply. The company needed to transfer the amount of dividend to unpaid dividend account within 7 days after the expiry of 30 days from the date of declaration of dividend. and after that the dividend is to be paid from unpaid dividend account.
