RIL dividend: How to check and claim unpaid dividend
What is IEPF and why your dividends may go there
Under Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, any dividend that remains unpaid or unclaimed for seven consecutive years is transferred to IEPF. Along with the unclaimed dividend, corresponding shares on which dividends have not been claimed are also moved to the IEPF account.
RIL listed details of shareholders whose dividends from previous years remain unclaimed. These pertain to FY17, and the transfer to IEPF is scheduled later this year.
How to check if you have unclaimed dividends

Claim process before IEPF transfer
Shareholders must apply in writing to KFin Technologies Ltd along with:
A duly signed application
Valid identity proof (PAN/Aadhaar)
Bank details and cancelled cheque
Proof of shareholding
All requests must be submitted before the stipulated cut-off to ensure the dividend is credited and shares are not transferred to the IEPF.
What if your dividends are already with IEPF?
If your dividends and shares have already been transferred to IEPF, you can still claim them by filing Form IEPF-5 online via the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website. Post submission, physical documents must be sent to RIL and the IEPF Authority for verification.

CPC extends deadline to process invalidated I-T returns
Ahmedabad: The CBDT has issued a circular relaxing the time limit for processing electronically filed income tax returns that were erroneously declared invalid by the Centralised Processing Centre (CPC). Experts say this will assist many taxpayers with their loan and visa applications. This measure will offer relief to a large number of taxpayers whose returns were declared invalid by the CPC on various technical grounds, particularly where signatures could not be verified or validated. This applies to all assessment years, and the time for processing the returns has been extended until March 31, 2026. Jainik Vakil, chairman of the direct tax committee of the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), said, "Many times, people do not get their returns e-verified and sent to the CPC. However, if it does not reach the CPC within 30 days, the return is invalidated. If the return filed by an assessee is declared invalid by the CPC and consequently not processed, it is advised to immediately follow up with the CPC and get it processed. If any refund is due, then the same will be granted along with interest till date. Make sure that your PAN is linked to Aadhaar. If not, get them linked so that the refund gets issued. All those who face issues with loans and visas due to invalid returns will get relief due to this."

HC quashes tax recovery against grocer, a victim of Aadhaar fraud
Mumbai: The Bombay High Court quashed an attachment order issued by the Gujarat commissioner of state tax against a small provision store owner in Mumbai for recovery of dues based on transactions done by his 'impersonator', a company using his Aadhaar card. The court expressed distress that the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the chief commissioner, Gujarat State, GST, and other authorities were at a 'standstill' for five years in the unique identity fraud case. The HC division bench of Justices S M Sonak and Jitendra Jain directed the man, Vilas Lad, a 51-year-old Prabhadevi resident, to approach Income Tax Authorities, which are to then consider if it is possible to deactivate his old number and issue him a new one. If impossible, the IT department is to state what steps can be adopted to prevent misuse of the PAN number. The HC also directed the GST authorities to delete his Aadhaar and PAN numbers from its portal against the company's name. The HC expressed its displeasure at the Income Tax department, Mumbai, and the State Tax commissioner not being represented before it despite notices to them, and imposed costs of Rs 10,000 each on five authorities, including UIDAI, chief commissioner Gujarat state GST; chief commissioner IT, Mumbai; Union Bank of India; and State Tax Commissioner, Gujarat; for "dereliction of duty" and not initiating any criminal proceedings despite the fraud being discovered.

The man petitioned the HC for directions to the IT department to probe into a "bogus PAN card", to the UIDAI to suspend and cancel his Aadhaar card, and other directions to banks and the GST department in Gujarat. His counsel, Uday Warunjikar, said Lad received a legal notice in 2019 for Rs 75,000 towards unpaid rent in Rajkot, and in 2020 for almost Rs 14 lakh in an alleged dishonour of a cheque issued by a company. JB Mishra, counsel for the Centre, informed the HC of the various steps the govt had initiated to prevent Aadhaar misuse, including securing enrolment and updating the ecosystem with biometric and demographic checks, among others. The HC opined that shortcomings in the implementation of laws are the reason the frauds are perpetuated, and hence swift proactive action would be an effective deterrent. The HC directed the Gujarat State Tax department not to initiate any proceedings against Lad "for transactions of Metro International Trading Company, the impersonator", and also directed that proceedings pending before a magistrate must not to go on till the Mumbai man's complaint made to Gujarat Police is taken to its logical conclusion and the culprits arrested.
