IEPFA, SEBI To Start Investor Outreach Camps

New Delhi: Capital markets regulator Sebi and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Au-thority will launch a pilot investor outreach camp in Pune on June 1, according to a statement. The initiative aims to serve as a one-stop solution for investors to resolve issues related to un-claimed dividends and shares, and offer direct access to investor services, the statement said.

The first pilot camp will be held on June 1, 2025, in Pune, it said. As part of this programme, the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) under the Corporate Affiars Min-istry aims to offer direct facilitation of unclaimed dividends held for six to seven years, on-the-spot update of KYC and nomination, and resolution of pending IEPFA claim issues. The Pune camp is the first in a series of such programmes planned in cities with high volumes of un-claimed investments. The initiative is part of IEPFA’s broader efforts to enhance financial litera-cy, boost investor confidence, and ensure a transparent and efficient mechanism for investor protection.
