Indo Count Industries has recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, marking a 75% payout on the face value of ₹2. The Board of Directors approved the recommendation during its meeting on May 30, 2026, pending ratification by shareholders at the company’s 37th Annual General Meeting (AGM). This distribution signals continued cash flow generation and shareholder returns for the fiscal year.

The 37th AGM is scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 12:00 Noon (IST). In compliance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) circulars permitting remote meetings, the event will be conducted via Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), facilitated by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Shareholders will not need to be physically present at a common venue. Attendance through VC will count toward quorum under Section 103 of the Companies Act, 2013.

To ensure smooth execution, the Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from Tuesday, August 18, 2026, to Tuesday, August 25, 2026, inclusive. This closure period covers both the AGM proceedings and the processing of dividend payments. The company has emphasized that only shareholders with updated KYC details will receive dividends in physical mode, while others must opt for electronic payment as mandated by SEBI regulations effective April 1, 2024.

Key Dates and Actions

Shareholders holding shares in physical mode are required to update their KYC details, including PAN, nomination, contact information, mobile number, bank account details, and signature, with the Registrar & Share Transfer Agent (RTA), MUFG Intime India Private Limited. Failure to provide these details will result in dividend payments being made only in electronic mode. For demat holders, these updates must be coordinated with respective Depository Participants.

Tax Implications and Compliance

Under the Income-Tax Act, 2025, as amended by the Finance Act, 2026, dividends distributed on or after April 1, 2020, are taxable in the hands of shareholders. Indo Count Industries will deduct Tax at Source (TDS) at prescribed rates unless shareholders submit valid exemption certificates. To avoid TDS deduction, eligible shareholders must upload signed Forms 15G, 15H, or 10F on the RTA’s website by August 14, 2026. Incomplete or unsigned forms will not be considered, and no further communications regarding tax determination will be accepted after this deadline.

The company has also initiated an appeal for shareholders who have not registered their email IDs to do so immediately. Electronic copies of the AGM notice and the Annual Report for FY26 will be sent only to registered email addresses. Those without registered emails will receive a letter containing web links to access these documents. Remote e-voting facilities are available through NSDL, allowing shareholders to cast votes electronically before or during the AGM.

Indo Count Industries Limited has temporarily halted operations at its manufacturing facility in Bhilad, Gujarat, effective July 23, 2026, due to unprecedented rainfall and subsequent flooding. The disruption affects the unit located at 191/192, Mahala Falia, Village, Bhilad, Gujarat- 396105. The company disclosed that it has taken adequate measures to ensure the safety of its personnel and confirmed that all assets and materials at the facility are adequately insured against such events.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with SEBI Master Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. Satnam Saini, Company Secretary & GM Legal, signed the filing submitted to the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. and BSE Limited on July 24, 2026.

Operational Impact Assessment

The company is currently evaluating the extent of any damage caused by the flooding and the consequent effect on production schedules. As of the filing date, the estimated impact on operations remains unquantified. Indo Count Industries stated that it will provide further updates once operations resume.

What the Numbers Show

While no financial loss figures have been disclosed, the confirmation that all assets are insured mitigates immediate balance sheet risk for this specific incident. The primary uncertainty lies in the duration of the operational halt, which will determine the short-term revenue impact. Investors should monitor subsequent filings for updates on resumption timelines.
