Jyothy Laboratories has established a deadline of June 25, 2026, for shareholders to submit documentation required for the deduction of tax at source (TDS) on the recommended final dividend for FY26. The company's Board recommended a dividend of ₹3.50 per equity share, representing 350% of the face value of Re. 1, at a meeting held on May 4, 2026. The dividend payout is contingent upon approval at the upcoming 35th Annual General Meeting, with the record date to be announced later.
In accordance with the Income Tax Act, 2025, dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders, and the company is mandated to deduct TDS at the time of payment. The applicable tax rate varies based on the residential status of the shareholder and the validity of submitted documents. The company has communicated that failure to provide valid PAN or Aadhaar linkage details will result in a higher TDS rate of 20% under Section 397(2) of the Act.
Tax Rates and Documentation Requirements
The company outlined specific tax rates and documentation requirements for different categories of shareholders. For resident shareholders, the standard TDS rate is 10%. However, no tax will be deducted if the dividend income for FY26-27 does not exceed ₹10,000 or if the shareholder submits Form 121 declaring eligibility for exemption.
| Category | Tax Rate | Key Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Resident Shareholder | 10% | Standard rate applies. |
| Resident Shareholder (Exempt) | NIL | Dividend income ≤ ₹10,000 or valid Form 121 submitted. |
| Resident without PAN/Invalid PAN | 20% | Applicable if PAN is invalid or not linked with Aadhaar. |
Specific entities such as insurance companies, corporations established under Central Acts, mutual funds, and Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) are eligible for NIL or lower tax rates upon submission of self-declarations and documentary evidence proving exemption under relevant sections of the Act.
Non-Resident Shareholder Obligations
For non-resident shareholders, including Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), the TDS rate is set at 20% or the applicable tax treaty rate, whichever is lower. To avail of the lower treaty rate, shareholders must submit a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), Form 41 filed online, and a self-declaration confirming non-existence of permanent establishment in India.
If the requisite documents are not submitted by the deadline, TDS will be deducted at the statutory rate of 20% plus surcharge and cess. The company clarified that it is not obligated to apply treaty rates if documentation is incomplete. Shareholders must send forms to the Registrar via email or update details online by June 25, 2026. No communication regarding tax determination will be accepted after this date.
