Dhanuka Agritech Limited has communicated the tax deduction at source (TDS) provisions applicable to the final dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company's Board has recommended a 100% final dividend of ₹2 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval at the 41st Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 3, 2026. The record date for determining dividend eligibility is July 17, 2026.
Pursuant to the Income Tax Act, 2025, dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders. Consequently, the company will deduct tax at the time of payment. The applicable TDS rates vary based on the residential status of the shareholder and the documentation submitted. Shareholders must submit relevant tax-related documents by July 27, 2026, to ensure appropriate tax deduction.
TDS Rates for Resident Shareholders
For resident shareholders, the standard TDS rate is 10% on the dividend amount if a valid PAN is provided. If the PAN is invalid or inoperative, the tax deduction rate increases to 20%. However, no tax will be deducted if the total dividend income during the tax year 2026-27 does not exceed ₹10,000 or if the shareholder submits Form 121. This form is mandatory for individuals whose dividend exceeds ₹10,000, which in this case corresponds to a holding of more than 5,000 equity shares.
Resident non-individual entities, such as insurance companies and mutual funds, are exempt from TDS upon submission of specific self-declarations and supporting documents, including PAN and registration certificates.
TDS Rates for Non-Resident Shareholders
Non-resident shareholders are subject to a base TDS rate of 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess. However, they may opt for the lower rate prescribed under the applicable Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). To avail treaty benefits, non-residents must submit a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), Form 41, and a self-declaration confirming beneficial ownership and tax residency. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) are also required to provide copies of their SEBI registration certificates.
