Can Fin Homes Ltd has set Friday, July 17, 2026, as the deadline for shareholders to submit documents for nil or lower Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on the final dividend of ₹8 per share for FY26. The record date for determining eligibility is Friday, July 3, 2026. The dividend, recommended by the Board on April 24, 2026, is subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for July 29, 2026. Shareholders must ensure their PAN and residential status are updated to avoid higher deduction rates.

The company stated that TDS would be deducted at 10% for resident shareholders with a valid PAN, while those without a valid PAN would face a 20% deduction. Resident individuals may receive the dividend without TDS if the total payout does not exceed ₹10,000 or if they submit Form 121, provided their estimated total income for FY26 is nil. Non-resident shareholders will face a withholding tax of 20% plus surcharge and cess, unless they provide valid documents to claim benefits under the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).

Specific categories of resident non-individual shareholders, such as insurance companies, mutual funds, and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), are exempt from TDS upon submission of valid PAN and self-declarations. The company emphasized that all required documents must be uploaded to the RTA's website by the July 17 deadline. Incomplete or unsigned forms will not be accepted, and no communication regarding tax determination will be considered after this date.

The 39th AGM will be held via video conference on July 29, 2026. Dividend payments will be made electronically within 30 days of the meeting's conclusion. Shareholders holding shares in dematerialized mode must update their KYC with depositories, while physical shareholders must update details with the Registrar and Transfer Agent, M/s. Integrated Registry Management Services Private Limited.

Key Dates and TDS Rates

Can Fin Homes has issued a final reminder to shareholders regarding the impending transfer of unclaimed dividends for the financial year 2018-19 and the corresponding shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). The unclaimed dividend amounts are due for transfer to the IEPF on August 22, 2026, under Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013. Shares associated with dividends that have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years will also be transferred to the IEPF Authority's Demat Account.

The company has requested shareholders who have not yet encashed their dividend warrants for 2019 to verify their records and submit the original warrants for revalidation. In cases where the warrants are lost, shareholders may submit a signed Letter of Declaration along with bank account particulars to the Registrar and Transfer Agents. All claims must reach Integrated Registry Management Services Private Limited on or before August 21, 2026, to ensure processing.

Transfer Process for Shareholders

The procedure for transferring shares to the IEPF differs based on the mode of holding. For shareholders holding shares in physical form, the company will issue new share certificates to replace the originals. These new certificates will be converted to Demat form and transferred to the IEPF Authority, automatically cancelling the original certificates. For shareholders with dematerialized holdings, the company will initiate a corporate action to instruct the depository to transfer the shares directly to the IEPF Authority's Demat account.

Compliance and KYC Requirements

Shareholders holding physical shares were reminded of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) circular dated May 07, 2024. This circular mandates the furnishing of PAN, nomination details, contact information, bank account particulars, and specimen signatures for physical folios. Effective April 01, 2024, dividends or interest on physical securities are paid only via electronic mode upon the complete submission of these details. Furthermore, the transfer of shares in physical form has not been permitted since April 1, 2019, and shareholders are encouraged to convert their holdings to Demat form.

Key Deadlines and Contact Information

Shareholders must quote their Folio or DP Client ID in all correspondence. For physical share holders, address updates require a self-attested copy of a PAN card and proof of residence such as a telephone bill, electricity bill, voter ID, driving license, passport, or Aadhaar card.
