National

In August 2025, the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), functioning under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MoCA), inaugurated three Niveshak Seva Kendras in Hyderabad, Telangana to provide faster and seamless services to investors.


      - The three Niveshak Seva Kendras were launched in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Central Depository Services India Ltd (CDSL), National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL), Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd (BSE), and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE).

      - This multi-agency effort aims to improve investor grievance redressal and streamline pending service requests.

     

Main Point :-   (i) The newly inaugurated centres are located at KFin Technologies Ltd, BSE Hyderabad Office, and NSE of India Ltd in Hyderabad. These centres are operational from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and are designed to facilitate direct investor interactions for resolving critical financial service issues.

      (ii) The Kendras provide key services such as facilitation of unpaid dividend transfers pending for 6 to 7 years, seamless KYC and nomination updates, and submission of Investor Service Request (ISR) forms. Once KYC and ISR formalities are completed, investors can receive their pending dividends directly.

(iii) The initiative is expected to benefit thousands of investors by reducing delays, enhancing accessibility, and ensuring financial entitlements are delivered without unnecessary hurdles. This launch marks an important step by IEPFA to strengthen investor protection and promote financial inclusion across India.
