Nava Limited has set August 07, 2026 as the record date for its proposed final dividend of ₹5.50 per equity share for the financial year 2025–26. The Board of Directors recommended the payout during its meeting on May 15, 2026, pending shareholder approval at the 54th Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 14, 2026. If approved, the company will disburse the dividend within 30 days of the AGM exclusively via electronic mode, in compliance with SEBI directives.

To facilitate direct bank transfers, shareholders must ensure their details are updated with the Registrar and Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited, or their Depository Participant. The critical deadline for submitting Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) declarations, KYC documents, and beneficial ownership forms is August 13, 2026. Failure to provide valid Permanent Account Number (PAN) linked with Aadhaar, or incomplete bank details, may result in delayed payments or higher TDS deductions under the Income-tax Act, 2025.

Dividend Payout Details

The dividend applies to equity shares with a face value of Re. 1 each. Eligibility is determined based on holdings as of the close of business on Friday, August 07, 2026.

TDS Provisions and Shareholder Actions

Under the Income-tax Act, 2025, Nava Limited is mandated to deduct tax at source before disbursing dividends. The applicable rates and exemptions depend on the shareholder's residential status and documentation.

Resident Shareholders

• Standard Rate: A 10% TDS applies under Section 393(1) if a valid PAN is registered.
• Higher Rate: A 20% rate under Section 397(2) applies if PAN is missing or not linked to Aadhaar.
• Exemptions: No tax is deducted if the aggregate dividend does not exceed ₹10,000 during Tax Year 2026–27. Individuals expecting income below the basic exemption limit may submit Form 121 for Nil TDS. Institutional investors such as Mutual Funds and Insurance Companies must submit category declarations with SEBI/IRDA registration certificates.

Non-Resident Shareholders

TDS is withheld at 20% (plus surcharge and cess) under Section 393(2). Non-residents can claim lower rates under Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) by submitting:

• Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) for Tax Year 2026–27.
• E-filed Form 41 equivalent.
• Self-declaration of beneficial ownership.

Residents of Singapore must also provide documentation confirming non-applicability of Article 24. All lower withholding certificates under Section 395 must cite the company’s TAN: HYDN00160G.

What This Means for Investors

The strict adherence to the Income-tax Act, 2025, requires proactive compliance from investors. The requirement to link PAN with Aadhaar and submit declarations via KFin’s portal by August 13 creates a narrow window for action. For physical shareholders, the shift to exclusive electronic payments means that missing the KYC update deadline will directly impact the receipt of dividends, highlighting the importance of maintaining current contact and banking information with the RTA.
