Savera Industries Limited has outlined the tax deduction at source (TDS) requirements for the final dividend payout for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company notified shareholders that tax will be deducted at the time of payment or credit of the dividend, with rates varying based on residential status and the validity of submitted documents. To ensure the appropriate rate is applied, shareholders must submit necessary documentation to the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Cameo Corporate Services Limited, by August 30, 2026.
Resident Shareholders
For resident shareholders, the TDS rate is primarily determined by the status of their Permanent Account Number (PAN). Shareholders with a valid PAN will face a 10% deduction, while those with an invalid, inoperative, or missing PAN will be subject to a 20% deduction. The company noted that if a PAN is not linked with Aadhaar, it will be treated as inoperative, resulting in the higher 20% rate. However, tax will not be deducted if the aggregate dividend payable to a resident individual in FY 2026-27 does not exceed ₹10,000.
Resident shareholders seeking nil TDS must submit specific declarations. Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) must file Form No. 121, while entities such as Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), mutual funds, and insurance companies must provide a declaration of beneficial interest, a copy of their registration certificate, and an attested copy of their PAN.
Non-Resident Shareholders
Non-resident shareholders, including Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), are subject to a base rate of 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess, or the Tax Treaty Rate, whichever is lower. To avail of benefits under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), these shareholders must submit documents such as a self-attested copy of SEBI registration, a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) valid for FY 2026-27, and Form 41.
The following table summarizes the TDS rates for key shareholder categories:
| Shareholder Category | Applicable TDS Rate | Key Requirement for Lower Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Resident with PAN | 10% | Valid PAN updated with depositories or RTA |
| Resident without PAN | 20% | N/A |
| Non-Resident (FII/FPI) | 20% or Tax Treaty Rate | TRC, Form 41, and declaration of beneficial ownership |
| Notified Jurisdiction | 30% or higher | N/A |
Compliance and Deadlines
Savera Industries emphasized that any communication received after August 30, 2026, will not be considered for tax deduction purposes. Shareholders holding shares under multiple accounts or those acting as custodians must ensure that declarations regarding beneficial ownership are submitted by the deadline. Failure to provide the necessary documentation will result in tax deduction at the applicable rates, though shareholders may claim a refund while filing their income tax returns.
The company also requested shareholders to ensure their bank account details in Demat accounts are updated to facilitate timely dividend credit. Detailed formats for the required documents are available on the company's website.
