Back to News Review index page Consumer forum urges transfer of IE&PF to SEBI New Delhi: The Consumer Education and Research Centre (CERC), Ahmedabad, has requested the Union Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, to transfer the Investors' Education & Protection Fund (IE&PF) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) from the Department of Company Affairs (DCA). The Fund was created with the unclaimed and unpaid dividend amounts, application money and deposits with companies lying unutilised for over seven years with the DCA.
The Fund was set up under Section 205 C of the Companies Act, 1999. A committee set up under the chairmanship of Dr N.L. Mitra in its report suggested that since SEBI had been constituted specially to protect the interest of the investors, the Fund should be administered by SEBI.The committee recommended that the Companies Act be repealed and similar changes be incorporated in the SEBI Act to transfer the Fund.
