TDS Provisions Applicable to Dividend Income
In accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025, as amended by the Finance Act, 2026, effective April 1, 2026, dividend declared and paid by the company is taxable in the hands of shareholders. Accordingly, Premier Energies is required to deduct tax at source (TDS) from the interim dividend at prescribed rates. The applicable TDS rate varies depending on the residential status of the shareholder and applicable exemptions, subject to fulfilment of documentary requirements.
No TDS shall be deducted on dividend payable to resident individuals if the total dividend to be received during financial year 2026-27 does not exceed ₹10,000. If any further dividend is distributed during financial year 2026-27 and the total dividend received by a resident individual shareholder exceeds ₹10,000, applicable TDS will be deducted on the gross amount of dividend, including past interim dividends.
