Effective from August 1, 2025, the government has implemented amendments to the Banking Laws (Amendment) Act, allowing public sector banks (PSBs) to transfer unclaimed dividends, interest amounts, and bond redemption proceeds to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This move aligns the practices of PSBs with those of corporate entities under the Companies Act.
