Special district-level awareness and assistance camps under the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund (DEA Fund) will be organised on 28 November 2025 in West Jaintia Hills, West Garo Hills and Ri Bhoi districts. Conducted under the supervision of the District Commissioner and the Lead District Manager, the camps will remain open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm to provide citizens with comprehensive support to access their unclaimed financial entitlements. At West Garo Hills the camp will be organized at DRDA Hall whereas at West Jaintia Hills and Ri Bhoi districts the camp will be held at DC Conference Hall.
Under the guidelines of the Department of Financial Services, Government of India, these camps form part of the nationwide public awareness campaign “Your Money, Your Rights.” Meghalaya is conducting such programmes across all districts in a phased manner until 31 December 2025.
The outreach is being organised under the leadership of the respective District Collectors and guided by the State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC), with implementation support from the Lead Bank of each district. Major banks, insurance companies, pension departments, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), and the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) are participating to offer on-the-spot assistance and financial guidance to the public.
At the camps, dedicated service counters will help citizens claim unclaimed deposits, unclaimed insurance amounts, unclaimed dividends, shares, and mutual funds. Beneficiaries will also receive support for KYC updation, claim form submissions, and document verification, ensuring a smooth and transparent process.
The SLBC Meghalaya has appealed to all citizens to participate in large numbers and take full advantage of this public welfare initiative of the Government of India. Similar DEA Fund camps will continue to be held across multiple districts of Meghalaya until 31 December 2025.
Through this initiative, the State Level Bankers’ Committee, Meghalaya, reaffirms its commitment to strengthening financial awareness and ensuring that citizens can conveniently access their rightful financial entitlements.
