NIIT Limited has scheduled its 43rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 9, 2026, and designated August 20, 2026, as the record date for shareholders eligible to receive the proposed dividend. The meeting will determine the approval of a dividend of ₹1 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26, impacting all equity holders registered in the depositories by the specified cut-off. This announcement provides clarity on the timeline for dividend entitlement and shareholder participation mechanisms.

The AGM will be held on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. (IST). In compliance with circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM). This format allows members to participate without physical presence at a common venue, adhering to regulatory permissions for remote general meetings.

The Board of Directors had previously recommended the dividend of ₹1 per equity share on May 14, 2026, subject to member approval at the AGM. To ascertain eligibility for this payment, the company has designated Thursday, August 20, 2026, as the record date. This determination is made in terms of Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Upon approval by members at the AGM, the dividend will be paid within 30 days through permissible modes. As required under the Income Tax Act, 1961, the company will withhold taxes at prescribed rates on the dividend payments distributed to its members. Further information and documents regarding the AGM proceedings will be provided in due course.

What the Numbers Show

The proposed dividend of ₹1 per share represents a modest return for equity holders, pending final ratification by the membership. The strict adherence to the 30-day payment window post-approval ensures timely liquidity distribution, while the use of VC/OAVM reflects ongoing regulatory norms for corporate governance flexibility. Shareholders must ensure their holdings are reflected in the National Securities Depository Limited or Central Depository Services (India) Limited by August 20, 2026, to claim entitlements.
