HB Portfolio Limited has withheld the interim dividend payment for the financial year 2026-27 for shareholders whose Know Your Customer (KYC) details are incomplete. The company informed affected investors that the payout will be released electronically once the requisite documentation is updated.

The Board of Directors declared an interim dividend of ₹1.25 per equity share, representing a 12.50% payout on the face value of ₹10 each, during its meeting on August 10, 2026. The dividend was paid on September 1, 2026, to shareholders with updated records.

Compliance Requirements

The withholding action follows a request made by the company on August 14, 2026, for shareholders to update their KYC details. Affected investors must furnish specific documents to the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, RCMC Share Registry Private Limited.

*PAN furnished should be linked to Aadhaar. If not linked, the folio will be treated as one where PAN has not been furnished.

Submission Modes

Shareholders can submit the required documents through three channels:

• Web-portal: Via the RCMC Share Registry Private Limited portal at services.rcmcdelhi.com.
• Post: By sending hard copies of self-attested documents.
• Electronic mode with e-sign: By sending documents via email from the registered ID, provided they include a digital signature.

Investors holding shares in demat form are requested to update their bank and KYC details against their Depository Participant (DP) ID and Client ID through their respective depository participants. The RTA will acknowledge receipt of physical or e-signed documents via post or email.

HB Portfolio Limited shareholders approved the company's audited financial statements for FY26 and confirmed a total dividend of Re. 1 per equity share at its 31st annual general meeting on September 9, 2026.

The meeting was conducted via video conferencing and other audio-visual means. Members also re-appointed Lalit Bhasin as director after he retired by rotation. All three ordinary resolutions placed before the house were passed with a requisite majority.

Shareholders holding 61.84% of the outstanding shares participated in the voting process. The promoter group, which holds 6,614,245 shares, voted in favor of all resolutions. Public non-institutional shareholders accounted for the majority of dissenting votes, though these represented less than 1% of the total votes polled.

The remote e-voting facility was available from September 6 to September 8, 2026. E-voting during the AGM remained open for 15 minutes after the conclusion of proceedings to allow additional participation.
