Equitas Bank physical shares are the subject of a special transfer re-lodgement window highlighted by Equitas Small Finance Bank Ltd in a BSE filing dated October 3, 2026. The bank disclosed social media communications drawing shareholders’ attention to the facility, which remains open until February 4, 2027.

The window covers the transfer and dematerialisation of eligible physical securities sold or purchased before April 1, 2019. It applies where requests were rejected, returned or left unprocessed because of deficiencies in documents, procedural issues or any other reason, according to the circular cited in the filing.

The October communication continues the bank’s earlier notices on the subject. It provides the exchanges with links to information shared through the bank’s official LinkedIn and X accounts, notifying shareholders about the special window.

Which physical share requests are covered?

The bank referred shareholders to the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s circular dated January 30, 2026. The filing sets out the following eligibility conditions and dates:

  • The physical securities must have been sold or purchased before April 1, 2019.
  • The transfer requests must have been rejected, returned or not processed due to documentary deficiencies, procedural deficiencies or any other reason.
  • The one-year window runs from February 5, 2026, to February 4, 2027.
  • The facility concerns both transfer and dematerialisation of the eligible physical securities.

These dates distinguish the underlying transaction cut-off from the period available for re-lodgement. The April 2019 cut-off relates to when the securities were sold or purchased, while the February 2027 deadline marks the end of the special window.

Disclosure to the stock exchanges

The bank submitted the communication to BSE and the National Stock Exchange under Regulation 30 and other applicable provisions of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015, and in compliance with the cited SEBI circular.

The filing identifies the bank’s NSE symbol as EQUITASBNK. The BSE headline carries scrip code 543243. Company Secretary N Ramanathan signed the submission, asking the exchanges to take the information on record.
