Birla Corporation has set a deadline of July 24, 2026, for shareholders to submit necessary documents to ensure the correct tax deduction at source (TDS) on the recommended dividend of ₹12.50 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The dividend, amounting to 125% of the nominal value of ₹10 per share, is subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. The company emphasized that failure to provide valid documentation by the deadline may result in TDS being deducted at the highest prescribed rate.
The Board of Directors approved the recommendation at its meeting held on May 9, 2026. The company stated that dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders under the Income Tax Act, 2025, for the Tax Year 2026-27. Birla Corporation will rely on data from National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) for demat holdings, or records maintained by the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited, for physical shares as of the record date.
