Trent Limited has announced significant shareholder rewards for FY2025-26, with the board of directors recommending both a dividend payment and bonus share issuance. The board meeting held on April 22, 2026, approved a dividend of ₹6.00 per equity share (600%) and a 1:2 bonus share ratio, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 23, 2026.

Dividend and Bonus Share Details

The company's board has recommended substantial returns to shareholders through dual corporate actions. The dividend represents a 600% payout on the face value, while the bonus issue will provide one additional share for every two existing shares held.

Tax Deduction Guidelines

Trent has issued comprehensive guidelines regarding tax deduction at source (TDS) on dividend payments, effective from the Finance Act, 2020. The company will deduct tax as per applicable rates based on shareholder categories and documentation provided.

For Resident Shareholders

For Non-Resident Shareholders

Document Submission Requirements

Shareholders must submit required tax-related documents by May 27, 2026, to ensure appropriate tax deduction rates. Resident shareholders can upload documents through the company's designated portal, while non-resident shareholders should email documents to specified addresses with "Trent Limited" in the subject line.

Impact on Dividend Post-Bonus

The company has clarified that if the proposed bonus share issuance is approved by shareholders, the dividend per share will be proportionately reduced to reflect the increased number of equity shares post-bonus distribution. This ensures fair treatment of all shareholders while maintaining the overall dividend payout structure.

Trent Limited has announced two significant initiatives for its shareholders, including the reopening of a special window for physical share transfers and the launch of a comprehensive shareholder outreach campaign.

Special Window for Physical Share Re-lodgement

Following SEBI Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026, Trent Limited has reopened a special window for the re-lodgement of transfer requests of physical shares. This facility will remain available for one year, from February 5, 2026 to February 4, 2027.

The special window is specifically designed for transfer requests that were previously submitted but rejected, returned, or not processed due to deficiencies in documents, processes, or other issues. All shares re-lodged during this period will be processed exclusively through the transfer-cum-demat mode, meaning they will be issued only in dematerialised form after transfer.

Second 100 Days Campaign - "Saksham Niveshak"

Trent Limited has also launched the Second 100 Days Campaign "Saksham Niveshak" from April 1, 2026 to July 9, 2026. This initiative, requested by the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) and Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through communication dated March 27, 2026, focuses on reaching out to shareholders with specific compliance needs.

The campaign specifically targets shareholders who have not claimed their dividends or have not updated their Know Your Client (KYC) and nomination details with the company. The initiative aims to ensure timely receipt of dividends and prevent the transfer of shares and dividends to the Investor Education and Protection Fund.

Process and Requirements

For the special window facility, eligible shareholders are required to contact the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited, located at C-101, 247 Park, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, Vikhroli West, Mumbai 400083. The re-lodged shares will be transferred only in dematerialised form, subject to submission of requisite documents and approval by the company.

Regarding the "Saksham Niveshak" campaign, shareholders can download KYC updation forms from the company's website and submit the duly filled forms along with KYC documents to the Registrar and Transfer Agent. Shareholders holding shares in dematerialised form are advised to contact their respective Depository Participants for KYC updates.

Lock-in and Transfer Conditions

Shares processed through the special window will be subject to specific conditions. They will remain under lock-in for one year from the date of registration of transfer, during which period the securities cannot be transferred, lien-marked, or pledged. The lodger must maintain a demat account and provide the Client Master List along with transfer documents and share certificates while lodging documents with the RTA.

Both initiatives demonstrate Trent Limited's commitment to regulatory compliance and shareholder service, providing multiple avenues for shareholders to regularise their holdings and maintain updated records with the company.
