Hyderabad: The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, in partnership with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), organized a successful “Niveshak Shivir” in Hyderabad on August 30, 2025. Held at Haryana Bhavan, Secunderabad, this one-day camp offered a single-window platform to resolve unresolved investor claims, deliver investor services, and promote financial literacy among participants, drawing enthusiastic attendees from across Telangana.
Streamlined Services and On-the-Spot Resolution
The event was attended by senior officials from IEPFA, SEBI, Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs), Registrars & Transfer Agents (RTAs), and representatives from key market stakeholders. Over 360 claimants benefited from immediate solutions for pending issues involving unclaimed dividends, shares, and other investment services. The camp addressed long-pending dividend accounts, provided on-the-spot KYC and nomination updates, and resolved standing IEPFA claim issues through kiosks staffed by companies and RTAs, removing the need for third-party intermediaries.
Financial Literacy, Engagement, and Innovation
Participants also engaged in financial literacy sessions covering safe investment practices and fraud prevention. CDSL launched a new Investor Assistant tool to aid with claim queries, enhancing the user experience. The event spotlighted Arth Chitra, a national poster-making competition under the Kushal Niveshak initiative, encouraging all age groups to creatively promote financial literacy topics like saving, investing, and budgeting.
Nationwide Outreach and Future Plans
Hyderabad’s Niveshak Shivir follows a successful pilot in Pune, marking a continuing series of IEPFA outreach programs aimed at cities with high levels of unclaimed investments. These efforts underscore IEPFA’s dedication to creating an investor-centric ecosystem that ensures transparency, accessibility, and trust within the Indian financial landscape.
