The company proposed a Final Dividend of Rs. 160/- and a Special Dividend of Rs. 346/-, based on the face value of equity share at Rs. 10/- each. The dividends are subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming 39th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

If approved by the shareholders at the AGM, the dividends will be paid or dispatched within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting.

Tax Deduction Context​

The payment of these dividends is subject to tax deductions at source (TDS), necessitated by amendments introduced in the Income-tax Act, 2025 through the Finance Act, 2026, effective from April 1, 2026.

A key provision regarding taxation stipulates that no tax will be deducted on dividend payment for a resident individual shareholder if the total dividend paid during the Tax Year (TY) 2026-27 does not exceed ₹10,000/-. The withholding tax rate applicable to shareholders varies based on their residential status and category, which is contingent upon providing requisite declarations and documents to the company.
