J&K Bank Opens One-Year Special Window for Transfer, Dematerialisation of Physical Shares

Ziraat Times News Network

Srinagar, June 8: J&K Bank has announced a one-year special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of eligible physical share certificates, providing shareholders another opportunity to regularise pending share transfers that could not be completed earlier.

According to a notice issued by the bank, the special window has been opened in compliance with a Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) circular dated January 30, 2026. The facility will remain available from February 5, 2026, to February 4, 2027.

The bank said the window is meant for physical securities that were bought or sold before April 1, 2019, and for transfer requests or deeds executed before that date but which were earlier rejected, returned or remained unattended due to deficiencies in documentation, procedural issues or other reasons.

Under the arrangement, shareholders can re-lodge such transfer requests by submitting the required documents. However, the securities transferred through this mechanism will be issued only in dematerialised form and will remain under a one-year lock-in period from the date of registration of transfer.

J&K Bank has urged eligible investors to avail themselves of the opportunity by furnishing the necessary documents to its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd.

The notice was issued by the bank’s Company Secretary, Mohammad Shafi Mir, from Srinagar on June 8.
