Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd has informed shareholders regarding the tax deduction at source (TDS) on the final dividend for FY 2025-26. The Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of Re 0.80 per equity share of face value Re 1 each, subject to shareholder approval at the 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for Thursday, 11 June 2026. The record date to determine eligibility is fixed as Friday, 22 May 2026.
Tax Deduction Requirements
Pursuant to the Income Tax Act, 2025, dividends are taxable in the hands of shareholders. The company will deduct TDS at the time of payment. The applicable rate depends on the shareholder's residential status and documentation submitted. For resident individuals, TDS applies if the aggregate dividend exceeds Rs. 10,000 during the tax year 2026-27. The rate is 10% if a valid PAN is registered, or 20% if the PAN is invalid or not linked with Aadhaar.
Documentation and Deadlines
Shareholders seeking exemption or lower TDS must submit specific forms. Resident individuals can submit Form 121 for exemption. Non-resident shareholders may avail benefits under Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) by providing a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 41. Required documents must be emailed to skcdivit@gmail.com or investors@himadri.com on or before 02 June 2026 to ensure appropriate tax deduction. Failure to provide documents may result in TDS deduction at the highest applicable rate.
| Shareholder Category | TDS Rate | Key Documents Required |
|---|---|---|
| Resident Individual (PAN registered) | 10% | Valid PAN details |
| Resident Individual (No PAN) | 20% | N/A |
| Non-Resident | 20% + surcharge/cess | TRC, Form 41, Self-declarations |
| Insurance Company | Nil | Declaration under Insurance Act |

KYC and Bank Details Update
The company has mandated that dividends for physical shareholdings be paid only via electronic mode. Shareholders holding physical shares must ensure their folios are KYC compliant by submitting PAN, nomination, contact details, and bank account details to the Registrar. Demat shareholders must update details through their depository participants. The company emphasized that no claim lies against it for taxes deducted at higher rates due to non-receipt of documents.
