Tata Capital Limited has established a July 27, 2026, deadline for shareholders to submit documentation ensuring the correct tax deduction at source (TDS) is applied to the final dividend recommended for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The Board of Directors recommended a dividend of Re. 0.57 per equity share of Rs. 10 each, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. Following the implementation of the Income-tax Act, 2025, dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders, necessitating TDS compliance by the company.
The applicable tax rates vary significantly based on the shareholder's residency status and documentation provided. For resident shareholders, the TDS rate is 10% if a valid Permanent Account Number (PAN) is registered. This rate rises to 20% if the PAN is unavailable, inoperative, or not linked with Aadhaar. Tax deduction is nil if the total dividend does not exceed Rs. 10,000 or if the shareholder submits valid exemption certificates such as Form 121.
Non-resident shareholders face a standard withholding tax rate of 20%, plus applicable surcharge and cess, unless they provide documents to claim benefits under a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement. To avail of beneficial treaty rates, non-residents must submit a Tax Residency Certificate, Form 41, and a self-declaration confirming no permanent establishment in India. The company clarified that it is not obligated to apply beneficial treaty rates without satisfactory documentation.
Specific categories of resident non-individuals, such as insurance companies, mutual funds, and Alternative Investment Funds, can claim nil TDS by submitting self-attested copies of PAN cards and relevant registration certificates. Shareholders holding shares under multiple accounts with different statuses should note that the higher applicable tax rate will be considered for their entire holding under a single PAN.
Shareholders must upload forms such as Form 121 via a designated web link or email specific documents to the company or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent by the deadline. Failure to provide the necessary information by July 27, 2026, will result in tax deduction at the higher prescribed rates, though shareholders may subsequently claim refunds while filing income tax returns.
