Section 205C of the Companies Act, 1956-is prescribed the following amounts should be credited to IEPF within 30 days from the date of it’s become as due: 

 

a.      amounts in the unpaid dividend accounts of companies;

b.      the application moneys received by companies for allotment of any securities and due for refund;

c.       matured deposits with companies;

d.      matured debentures with companies;

e.       the interest accrued on the amounts referred to in clauses (a) to (d);

f.       grants and donations given to the Fund by the Central Government, State Governments, companies or any other institutions for the purposes of the Fund; and

g.      The interest or other income received out of the investments made from the fund.

 

 *Provided that no such amounts referred to in clauses (a) to (d) shall form part of the Fund unless such amounts have remained unclaimed and unpaid for a period of seven years from the date they became due for payment.  

 

Pass a board resolution in this regard. 

 

Remittance Mode:

 

Pay Miscellaneous Fee → Pay Fee for IEPF → Enter particulars of Payment and Amount → pay either challan or online mode → get SRN.

 

Form-1(Compliance Related Filing Section) to be file with SRN of said remittance.

 

well explained by Mr. Vannan.

and one another thing is here if u dont transfer the fund with in 30 days than u have to pay panelty on transferable fund.

 

You can get Challan for it and Form 1 for it from   "mca.gov.in" than go in MCA21 Download E-Forms (for Form) and for fee challan log in on site and than follow procedure described by Mr. Vannan as above ( in yellow).
