24 October 2013 Can anyone pls guide that after 30 days of declaration of dividend, the dividend remaining unclaimed has to be transferred to an unpaid dividend account,

now, if a shareholder receives a cheque but submits in bank for clearing on 40th day of receiving it will face bouncing due to change in account?

how to deal

24 October 2013 You can claim your dividend for with in 7 years from the end of such 30 days.

You send bounce check with company and request for re issue of DD in lieu of such cheque.

25 October 2013 Sir, i understand. but what is the purpose of shifting the amount to another account so immediately?

will bouncing of cheques and reissue will not increase the work of the company and the shareholders?

25 October 2013 No, the cheque will not be bounced.

After 30 days of declaration of the Dividend the nomenclature of the dividend account is being changed to Unpaid Dividend account. So the warrants / cheques presented to the bank beaing the account number will get passed and the shareholder get his dividend.


25 October 2013 If the instrument is valid (upto 3 months) it will not be bounced and the shareholder will get his payment of dividend.

Because only the name of the account will change and not the account number.
