Bajaj Group Shares Recovery: Old Bajaj Auto Certificates, Bajaj Finance, Finserv and IEPF
An old Bajaj Auto certificate can today mean shares in more than one company. Families often hold paper certificates from before 2008, or Bajaj Auto Finance certificates, in a parent's name with dividends unpaid for years. Expertvuw helps families map these holdings across the Bajaj companies and recover them through the official route.
In 2008 the original Bajaj Auto Ltd was demerged. The old company was renamed Bajaj Holdings & Investment Ltd, and for every share held on the record date, 25 March 2008, shareholders received one share of the new Bajaj Auto Ltd and one share of Bajaj Finserv Ltd. Bajaj Finance Ltd was earlier called Bajaj Auto Finance Ltd; the name changed in September 2010. Shares in any of these companies whose dividends stayed unpaid for seven years may have moved to the IEPF.
What an old Bajaj certificate can mean today
| Certificate says | Held | Today it can mean |
|---|---|---|
| Bajaj Auto Ltd | On the demerger record date, 25 March 2008 | Shares in Bajaj Holdings & Investment, plus entitlement to new Bajaj Auto and Bajaj Finserv shares |
| Bajaj Auto Ltd | Issued after the 2008 demerger | Shares in the new Bajaj Auto Ltd |
| Bajaj Auto Finance Ltd | Before September 2010 | Shares in Bajaj Finance Ltd |
| Bajaj Finserv or Bajaj Holdings | Any date | The same company, subject to later corporate actions |
Why Bajaj shares go unclaimed
- The 2008 demerger: families often hold one old certificate but are entitled to shares in three companies.
- Name changes: Bajaj Auto Finance became Bajaj Finance.
- Splits and bonus issues: the number of shares changes over the years.
- The seven-year rule: under Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, shares on which dividends are unpaid for seven consecutive years are transferred to IEPF.
How Bajaj share recovery works, in broad stages
- Map the holding across every Bajaj company it now touches.
- Correct the records with each company's registrar: KYC, names, and transmission after a death.
- Claim company by company: live folios from the registrar, transferred shares from the IEPF Authority.
- Credit: shares go only to the claimant's own demat account and dividends only to their own bank account.
