28 July 2012 dear you can refer it for your querry
Refer rule 3 of the Investor Education and Protection Fund (Uploading of information
regarding unpaid and unclaimed amounts lying with companies) Rules, 2012 on the
MCA portal under the head ‘Rules’ of main head ‘Acts, Bills & Rules’.
• The information to be provided in the eForm should be as on the date of AGM.
• Companies are required to file the form annually within 90 days from the AGM date.
However, for the financial year ended March 31, 2011, companies can file the form
upto July 31, 2012.
• No fee is required for filing of this eForm.
• After the eForm has been filled, click the Pre-scrutiny button to pre-scrutinize the
eForm. If the eForm is not pre-scrutinized, it shall be rejected when you attempt to
upload the form.
After successful upload of form 5 INV, the Investor-wise details of unclaimed and unpaid
amounts need to be uploaded on the IEPF portal using the excel template. The excel
template can be downloaded from IEPF portal (http://iepf.gov.in/)

30 July 2012 You have to file eForm 5INV though company has not declare any dividend so far. Every company must file eForm 5INV containing the information of unclaimed and unpaid amounts as referred to in subsection (2) of section 205C of the Companies Act, 1956.

30 July 2012 Every company has to file form 5INV about their balances in
(a) amounts in the unpaid dividend accounts of companies;

(b) the application moneys received by companies for allotment of any securities and due for refund;

(c) matured deposits with companies;

(d) matured debentures with companies;

(e) the interest accrued on the amounts referred to in clauses (a) to (d);

(f) grants and donations given to the Fund by the Central Government, State Governments, companies or any other institutions for the purposes of the Fund; and

(g) the interest or other income received out of the investments made from the Fund:

Provided that no such amounts referred to in clauses (a) to (d) shall form part of the Fund unless such amounts have remained unclaimed and unpaid for a period of seven years from the date they became due for payment.

It is now clear that every company has to file form 5 INV mentioning the balances available in the above heads detailed from (a) to (h).
