What Are Unclaimed Dividends of Coal India Ltd? 

It’s called unclaimed dividends simply because you haven’t claimed them officially.

In case you have Coal India shares and you do not claim them, then the company marks the dividend as unclaimed shares.

If you do not claim these shares for 7 years continuously, then they get transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund or the IEPF.

At this stage, your dividend is called IEPF unclaimed shares (which you must restore).

It’s wrong to consider that the share ownership changes with IEPF transfer, as this body created by the Central Government of India merely owns your shares but protects them when you haven’t claimed them.

When you claim it from IEPF following the right rules, you get your shares back and enjoy their privileges once again.

Why Do Dividends Go Unclaimed? 

When shares go unclaimed, whether of Coal India Ltd. or of any other company, it indicates a number of reasons for it.

Shareholders may forget or skip to claim their dividends for personal reasons. Although it sounds very simple and common as a reason, a bit of this ignorance (no offense) may get your shares unclaimed.

However, this reason might as well present the tip of the iceberg regarding the other problems a shareholder faces. Often, not updating the bank details, electronic transfers, or things such as outdated contact information can result in unclaimed shares.

Dormant accounts may also get your shares in the ‘unclaimed’ status.

Sometimes, the sudden demise of a shareholder may keep the dividend unclaimed for a long time. This problem may happen even if the shareholder passes away naturally but he/ she forgets to make a will to transmit the shares.
