The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), is organising a ‘Niveshak Shivir’ in Bhubaneswar, Odisha on 27th March 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The venue for this program is Event Square, Near Hotel Swosti Premium, Jaydev Vihar.
The initiative is designed as a one-stop facilitation platform to assist investors in resolving issues related to unclaimed dividends and shares, while also enabling direct access to investor services and on-ground grievance redressal mechanisms.
Through the Niveshak Shivir, IEPFA aims to provide:
- Direct facilitation for the recovery of unclaimed dividends and shares held for six to seven years
- On-the-spot KYC updation and nomination-related services
- Immediate assistance and resolution of pending IEPFA claim-related issues
The Niveshak Shivir model promotes direct, intermediary-free engagement between investors, companies, and Registrars and Transfer Agents (RTAs). Dedicated service kiosks will be established at the venue to ensure prompt grievance redressal.
Stakeholder companies with substantial unclaimed dividend accounts will participate actively to engage with investors and address their concerns efficiently.
The Bhubaneswar Shivir forms part of IEPFA’s nationwide investor outreach and awareness programme, aimed at strengthening financial literacy, enhancing transparency, and simplifying the process of reclaiming unclaimed investments. The initiative reiterates IEPFA’s commitment to build a secure, accessible, and investor-centric financial ecosystem across the country.
IEPFA is dedicated to promoting investor education, awareness, and protection through sustained financial literacy initiatives and collaborative outreach programmes nationwide.
