EIH Limited announced that its Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share of face value ₹2 each for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. The disclosure was made to the stock exchanges on June 6, 2026, under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) Provisions
As per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 2025, dividend is taxable in the hands of shareholders. Consequently, the company is required to deduct Tax at Source (TDS) at applicable rates. No tax will be deducted on dividend payments to resident individual shareholders if the total dividend paid during Tax Year 2026-27 does not exceed ₹10,000. The applicable TDS rates vary based on the shareholder's residential status and category.
Resident Shareholder TDS Rates
For resident shareholders, the TDS rate is determined by the availability of a valid PAN and specific exemptions. The following table outlines the rates for residents not eligible for the ₹10,000 exemption:
| Particular | Withholding Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Valid PAN available | 10% |
| No / Invalid PAN | 20% |
| Lower/Nil tax certificate u/s 395(1) | Rate specified in certificate |
Nil TDS applies to specific categories such as individuals submitting Form 121, entities exempt under section 393(1) (e.g., LIC, GIC, Business Trust), and Category I and II Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), provided valid declarations and documents are submitted.
Non-Resident Shareholder TDS Rates
TDS rates for non-resident shareholders depend on their category and the availability of tax treaty benefits. Key rates include:
| Category | Withholding Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| FIIs / FPIs | 20% or tax treaty rate (whichever is beneficial) |
| AIF – Category III (IFSC) | 10% |
| Other Non-residents | 20% or tax treaty rate (whichever is beneficial) |
| Tax residents of Notified Jurisdictional Area | 30% |
| Sovereign Wealth / Pension funds (Schedule V) | NIL |
| Subsidiary of ADIA (Schedule V) | NIL |
To avail beneficial tax treaty rates, non-resident shareholders must submit a Tax Residency Certificate for TY 2026-27 and digitally filed Form 41 from the Income Tax portal.
Document Submission Deadline
Shareholders must submit requisite documents, including PAN details and declarations, to determine the appropriate withholding tax rate. The deadline for submission is July 15, 2026. Documents sent after this date will not be considered, potentially resulting in a higher TDS deduction. Documents can be emailed to isdho@oberoigroup.com or investor.helpdesk@in.mpms.mufig.com .
Bank Account Details Update
Shareholders holding shares in physical form must update their KYC details, including PAN and bank account details, with the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited, to receive dividend payments electronically. Shareholders holding shares in demat form must update bank mandates directly with their Depository Participants.
