Dhanuka Agritech Announces 100% Final Dividend for FY 2025-26​

Dhanuka Agritech Limited has announced a 100% final dividend of ₹ 2.00 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This recommendation was made by the Board of Directors during its meeting held on May 19, 2026, and is subject to ratification by Members at the company’s 41st Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The company set a record date for dividend entitlement and stipulated deadlines for shareholders regarding tax documentation. Given that dividends distributed by the Company are taxable in the hands of shareholders under the Income Tax Act, 2025, the company has outlined specific provisions for the deduction of tax at source (TDS) based on the residential status and documents provided by each shareholder.

The key timelines and dividend details are summarized below:

TDS Provisions for Resident Shareholders​

The tax deduction rates for resident shareholders depend on their individual circumstances and the documentation submitted. As per the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025, the following rates apply:

• Nil Deduction: No tax will be deducted if a resident individual receives a total dividend amount that does not exceed Rs. 10,000 during the Tax Year 2026-27, or if Form 121 is submitted along with a self-attested copy of the PAN card (if not registered against the demat account).
• 10% TDS: This rate applies to resident shareholders who provide a valid PAN.
• 20% TDS: Tax will be deducted at this higher rate if the shareholder does not provide a PAN.

For Resident Non-Individuals, various exemption categories were provided, including insurance companies, mutual funds, Alternative Investment Funds (AIF), and National Pension System (NPS) Trusts, provided they submit requisite self-declarations and documentation.

TDS Provisions for Non-Resident Shareholders​

The tax rates for non-resident shareholders are determined by their status and the submission of relevant documents:

• Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs)/Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs): Tax will be deducted at 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess, or at the rate prescribed under an applicable Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), whichever is more beneficial to the shareholder.
• Global Depository Receipt (GDR) Holders: TDS will be applied at 10% plus applicable surcharge and cess, contingent on furnishing a self-attested copy of a valid PAN card. If no valid PAN is provided, the rate reverts to 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess.
• Other Non-Resident Shareholders: Taxes are required to be withheld at either 20% or as per any applicable tax treaty, whichever is lower, based on submitted documents.

Shareholder Actions Required​

All shareholders are instructed to update their PAN, contact details, bank account details, and specimen signature with the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), M/s. Abhipra Capital Ltd., to ensure uninterrupted service and electronic credit of dividends.

Shareholders who wish to avail benefits under any tax treaty or claim a lower TDS rate are required to submit specific declarations—including Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 41—by the stipulated deadline of July 27, 2026. The company noted that application of any beneficial tax treaty rate is subject to the completeness and satisfactory review of the submitted documents.
