Indian Bank shareholders approved a dividend of ₹18.25 per equity share, equivalent to 182.50% of the paid-up equity capital for the financial year 2025-26, during the 20th Annual General Meeting held on June 17, 2026. The meeting, conducted via video conferencing, also sanctioned a special resolution to raise equity capital aggregating up to ₹5000 crore to fund business growth. The record date for determining dividend eligibility was June 10, 2026, entitling shareholders holding shares on that date to the payout.
The equity capital raise will be executed through Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), Follow-on Public Offer (FPO), Rights Issue, or a combination thereof in one or more tranches. This initiative requires approvals from the Government of India, the Reserve Bank of India, and other regulatory authorities. The Board of Directors had initially approved the capital raise proposal in its meeting held on April 29, 2026.
Shareholders approved the re-appointment of Shri Ashutosh Choudhury as Executive Director for a period of three years effective from May 3, 2026. The tenure extension was authorized by the Central Government via a Gazette Notification dated April 23, 2026. Additionally, the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, were adopted during the meeting.
