The payment is scheduled to be made within 30 days from the date of declaration at the AGM, which is set for June 23, 2026.

Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on Dividend

In accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended by the Finance Act 2020, dividend paid or distributed by the company on or after April 1, 2020, is taxable in the hands of shareholders. Consequently, the Bank is required to deduct tax at source (TDS) at the time of payment.

The deduction of TDS will depend on the residential status of the shareholders and the necessary documents submitted by them and accepted by the Bank. The dividend will be paid after deducting applicable TDS, if any. Shareholders are requested to furnish necessary documents to the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited, at www.kfintech.com to ensure correct deduction or lower rates.

The Bank has clarified that it is obligated to deduct TDS based on the records available with the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, and no requests for revision of TDS returns will be entertained thereafter. An email communication explaining the applicable conditions for TDS deduction is being sent to all registered shareholders.
