IEPFA Organises Stakeholder Engagement with Nodal Officers of Companies on Integrated IEPFA Portal 2.0

The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, together with the National e‑Governance Division (NeGD), held a stakeholder engagement session with Companies’ Nodal Officers to demonstrate the Integrated IEPFA Portal 2.0. The session showcased new digital features – KYC integration, pre‑filled Form IEPF‑5, entitlement search, a three‑step e‑Verification Report (EVR) workflow and provisions for Rule 7(3) delay fees – and outlined the rollout timeline (UAT in August 2026, training in September, pilot in October, launch in November 2026). Participants suggested enhancements such as Aadhaar eKYC address validation, bulk DSC/eSign, and automated fraud alerts, which were forwarded to the NeGD team for consideration.
