Can't be claim after transfer, as act give 7 years to claim to shareholder after trf. To unclaimed dividend account of the company its enough..but after trf. No claims possible it will utilities for investor protection..
As per both comapanies act i.e. old & new, if unpaid dividend unclaimed for 7 years as they due shall transfer to Fund i.e. Investor Education & Protection Fund. Once such dividend transferred to fund, shareholder has no right to recover it.
Is the same provision applicable to interest on bonds that cumulates and received as maturity value?
No claim shall be made with respect to amount transferred to such fund...
As per companies act 2013 ' no any shareholder can be claimed any unclaimed dividend which transfer to investor education & protection fund. These fund are used by central governments to awareness of investor
