SEBI, IEPFA to hold Niveshak Shivir in Delhi on 17 November
The Story in Brief
SEBI and IEPFA will hold the eighth Niveshak Shivir in New Delhi on Tuesday, 17 November 2026, from 10 AM to 4 PM at Jacaranda Hall, India Habitat Centre. The walk-in event aims to help investors resolve pending IEPFA claims involving unclaimed shares and unpaid dividends up to seven years old, assist with KYC and nomination updates, and help obtain duplicate share certificates.
Market infrastructure institutions BSE, CDSL, NSE and NSDL, and registrar and transfer agents including KFIN Technologies, MUFG Intime India, Bigshare Services, Datamatics Business Solutions and Purva Sharegistry India are participating. Shareholders must bring a government-issued ID. Separately, SEBI directed registered market intermediaries to update their KYC and tax-reporting systems to incorporate AEOI reporting requirements under the Income-tax Act, 2025, effective 1 April 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage from devdiscourse.com and indiasnews.net is essentially identical, both carrying the text of an ANI wire. Both outlets report the same event details, participant list, and SEBI circular on AEOI compliance verbatim. There is no variation in framing, lead, or omission between the two, the only difference is the display format and the syndication note on Devdiscourse. The uniform straight reporting means there is no editorial slant to compare. The key takeaway from this consensus coverage is the regulator's dual message: it is simultaneously facilitating retail investor support through the Niveshak Shivir on 17 November 2026 and tightening intermediary compliance with the new Income-tax Rules that took effect on 1 April 2026.
