Compliance and Tax Deduction
Pursuant to SEBI's Master Circular dated May 7, 2024, dividends to shareholders holding securities in physical form shall be paid only through electronic mode, effective April 1, 2024. Shareholders holding shares in physical form must complete their KYC requirements—furnishing PAN, contact details, bank account details, and specimen signature—to avoid withholding of the dividend. Additionally, pursuant to the amendment to Regulation 12 of the SEBI Listing Regulations effective November 19, 2025, the company will be unable to pay dividends through physical instruments to shareholders whose bank account details are not updated.
Dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders, and the company will deduct Tax at Source (TDS) at applicable rates. The applicable rate depends on the shareholder's residential status, PAN validity, tax treaty benefits (in case of non-resident shareholders), and submission of requisite documents. Members are requested to update their residential status, PAN, and category details with their DPs or KFintech, and upload TDS-related forms on or before the record date of Friday, May 22, 2026.
