You will appreciate that The Investor Education Protection Fund (Uploading of information regarding unpaid and unclaimed amounts lying with companies) Rules, 2012, dated 10.05.2012 requires the company to upload the information of unclaimed and unpaid amounts of investors lying with that company during any of the last seven years.
In my case, Company is incorporated in the F.Y. 2012-2013 and is in existence for less than 7 years.Share application money has been received during F.Y. 2012-13 itself and pending for allotment on the date of AGM i.e. 30/09/2013. Still filing of Form INV5 is required?

during last seven years will also include period less than 7 years. right! it applies to every company. Form 5 INV is only for providing information for amounts pending allotment/pending refund - therefore the same would apply to your case too.

Every year particulars has to be filed before MCA and IEPF. Amount unpaid and pending for seven years and more has to be transferred to IEPF which is not recoverable. Ref:- Explanation and proviso to section 205C(2) of the Companies Act,1956.
