Coromandel International has fixed July 16, 2026, as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility for the final dividend for the financial year 2025-26. The company announced that its 64th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be convened on July 23, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. IST through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM). The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from July 17, 2026, to July 23, 2026, for the purpose of the AGM and dividend payment.

The meeting will be conducted without the physical presence of members at a common venue, in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The Notice of the 64th AGM along with the Integrated Annual Report for the FY ended March 31, 2026, has been sent electronically to members whose email IDs are registered with the company or their respective Depository Participants.

Members can participate in the AGM and cast their votes through the remote e-voting system provided by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). The remote e-voting period commences at 9:00 a.m. IST on July 20, 2026, and ends at 5:00 p.m. IST on July 22, 2026. The cut-off date for e-voting eligibility is July 16, 2026.

Shareholders holding physical shares who have not registered their email addresses are required to update their details with KFin Technologies Limited, the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent. The company emphasized that dividend income is taxable in the hands of members, and tax deducted at source (TDS) will apply to the final dividend for FY 2025-26 if approved at the AGM.

TDS rates will vary depending on the residential status of the members and the documents submitted. The company has outlined specific documents required for different categories of shareholders to ensure appropriate tax deduction. For instance, resident individual shareholders with PAN may need to submit Form 15G or 15H, while non-resident shareholders must provide declarations such as Tax Residency Certificate and No Permanent Establishment Declaration.

Furthermore, SEBI mandates that dividends for security holders in physical form must be paid only through electronic mode. Consequently, members holding physical shares must register an Electronic Bank Mandate to receive dividends directly into their bank accounts. Failure to update bank account details, email IDs, mobile numbers, and KYC information may result in non-remittance of dividends.

*Note: If PAN is not correct/invalid/inoperative, then tax will be deducted at a higher rate and credit of TDS will not be available.
