    B Five (5) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Seven (7) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Ten (10) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Fifteen (15) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If the dividend remains unpaid/unclaimed for  7 consecutive years , the underlying shares, along with the accumulated dividend in the Unpaid Dividend Account, must be transferred to the IEPF. However, if the beneficial owner later claims the shares, they can apply to the IEPF Authority for a refund.
