As per the notification every Company (including NBFC) has to identify the unclaimed amounts referred in Section 205C (2) of the Act.
May please anyone clarify that whether Listed Company/ Public Limited Company/ Private Limited Company/ NBFC not declaring any dividend in any of its years of existence are compulsorily required to upload e-Form 5-INV or not?

You have to file eForm 5INV though company has not declare any dividend so far. It is because Investor education and protection fund is credited not only with unclaimed or unpaid amount of dividend only. As you have mentioned Investor education fund is credited with application money received due for refund, matured deposit & debentures with companies etc.
So if you are falling in any of the said things you have to file e-Form 5INV.
