Petronet LNG Limited has fixed Friday, June 12, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for a final dividend of ₹3.00 per share for the financial year 2025-26. The dividend, recommended by the Board of Directors on May 4, 2026, is on equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each. This payout is contingent upon approval by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

The intimation was submitted to BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company confirmed that if the dividend is approved, payment will be made within 30 days from the date of the AGM, subject to the deduction of tax at source.

Dividend Details

The Board of Directors had initially recommended the final dividend in its meeting held on May 4, 2026. The company has informed the exchanges that the record date is fixed specifically for ascertaining the entitlement of members to this dividend.

Petronet LNG Limited has announced the compulsory transfer of unpaid and unclaimed dividends to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) for the Financial Year 2018-19 and Special Interim Dividend for 2019-20. The transfer follows the provisions of Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the IEPF Rules, 2016. Shareholders have until September 30, 2026, to claim the Final Dividend for FY 2018-19 and until November 30, 2026, to claim the Special Interim Dividend for FY 2019-20. Failure to claim these dividends will result in the amounts being transferred to the IEPF during FY 2026-27.

The corresponding equity shares relating to these unclaimed dividends are also liable to be transferred to the IEPF Authority's Demat Account. For shares held in physical form, new share certificates will be issued in favour of the IEPF, rendering original certificates non-negotiable. For dematerialized shares, the transfer will occur via corporate action through the depositories.

Key Dates for Dividend Transfer

The company has specified the declaration dates and final claim deadlines for the dividends due for transfer.

Claim Process and Requirements

Shareholders must ensure their bank details, including core banking account numbers and IFSC or MICR codes, are registered with their Depository Participant or the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), M/s Bigshare Services Private Limited. To claim the unpaid dividends, shareholders must submit a duly filled and signed Letter of Undertaking along with specific documents.

For shares held in demat form, a copy of the Demat Account Statement (Client Master List) showing updated bank details is required. For physical shareholdings, investors must submit Investor Service Request Forms ISR-1 and ISR-2, Form SH-13, and an original cancelled cheque leaf or a bank-attested copy of the passbook first page.

Statutory Provisions and Recovery

Once transferred to the IEPF, shareholders can still claim their dividends and shares by submitting an online application in Form IEPF-5 on the IEPF website. The verified application must then be sent to the company's registered office. The company emphasized that unclaimed dividends up to the Special Interim Dividend for FY 2018-19 have already been transferred to the IEPF Authority.
