Sun TV Network Limited has fixed Tuesday, August 18, 2026, as the record date for its first interim dividend for the financial year 2026-27. The announcement establishes the eligibility timeline for shareholders ahead of the Board meeting scheduled for Wednesday, August 12, 2026, where the dividend amount will be formally declared. This procedural step ensures that investors holding the company’s equity shares on the specified record date are entitled to receive the dividend payment, subject to the Board’s final decision.

The company issued the disclosure pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The notice was submitted to both BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited on August 07, 2026. The filing confirms that any dividend declared by the Board will be paid within 30 days from the date of declaration, in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2013.

Key Dates and Details

The record date serves as the cutoff point for determining which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend. Investors who hold Sun TV Network Limited shares in their demat accounts or physical form as of the close of business on August 18, 2026, will be considered eligible recipients. The actual dividend per share amount remains undetermined until the Board concludes its deliberations on August 12.

Regulatory Compliance

The disclosure underscores the company’s adherence to statutory timelines for shareholder communications. By setting the record date five trading days after the expected declaration date, the company aligns with standard market practices to allow for trade settlement cycles. The payment obligation, triggered only upon a positive resolution by the Board, is bound by the 30-day window mandated under the Companies Act 2013. This framework provides clarity to investors regarding the potential cash inflow timeline for the upcoming fiscal period.
