Tax Deduction at Source on Dividend

Jubilant FoodWorks is required to deduct tax at source (TDS) based on the residential status and category of the member. To enable the company to determine the appropriate withholding tax rate, shareholders must upload requisite tax-related documents or declarations on the designated link on or before August 06, 2026. Failure to do so may result in TDS being deducted at the highest applicable rate.
Compliance and Investor Actions
The company urges members holding shares in physical form to update their bank details and KYC information through Form ISR-1 with the Registrar to an Issue and Share Transfer Agent, MUG Intime India Pvt. Ltd. Members holding shares in demat form should coordinate with their respective Depository Participants. These updates are mandatory for receiving electronic dividend credits and lodging grievances, as per SEBI’s Master Circular dated February 6, 2026. The AGM notice and integrated report will also be available on the company’s website and the stock exchanges’ platforms.
