Bengaluru: The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority announced that it will organise a Niveshak Shivir in Bengaluru on January 3, 2026, to assist investors with unclaimed dividends, shares, and related grievances.
The authority will conduct the Niveshak Shivir in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India. The day-long programme will run from 10 am to 4 pm and provide direct, on-ground access to investor service mechanisms.
Officials said the initiative would function as a single-window facilitation platform. It would help investors resolve long-pending issues without intermediaries. The model aims to simplify procedures and reduce processing delays.
Through the Niveshak Shivir, IEPFA will assist investors in recovering dividends and shares that have remained unclaimed for six to seven years. Officials will also provide immediate help for pending IEPFA claim cases. Dedicated teams will handle documentation and verification during the event.
The authority said the Shivir would also offer on-the-spot KYC updation services. Investors can update nomination details at the venue. Officials said these services would help prevent future cases of unclaimed investments.
To ensure efficient grievance redressal, organisers will set up dedicated service kiosks. These kiosks will connect investors directly with companies and Registrars and Transfer Agents. Officials said this structure would enable faster issue resolution at the ground level.
Niveshak Shivir expands nationwide investor outreach
IEPFA officials said the Bengaluru Niveshak Shivir formed part of a larger national investor outreach programme. The initiative focuses on improving financial literacy and strengthening investor confidence. It also seeks to improve transparency in reclaiming unclaimed financial assets.
The authority said the programme reaffirmed its commitment to building a secure and investor-friendly financial ecosystem. Officials added that simplified access to services would encourage greater participation from small and retail investors.
The event will take place at Sri Y Muniswaamappa Kalyaana Mantapa on Tumkur Road. The venue is located near Gopal Theatre in Dr Ambedkar Nagar, Yeswanthpur. Officials said the location was selected to ensure easy accessibility for participants.
IEPFA advised interested claimants to register in advance through an online form. Officials said prior registration would help manage footfall and reduce waiting time at the venue. Participants have been advised to carry relevant documents related to their claims.
