The Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), in collaboration with SEBI, is set to organize a financial literacy camp in Bengaluru on January 3. This initiative targets enhancing investor empowerment and providing swift resolution for grievances related to unclaimed dividends and shares, according to an official release.

The day-long Niveshak Shivir will serve as a comprehensive platform for investors dealing with unclaimed investments.
