The Integrated Annual Report and AGM notice are available on the Company’s website and the stock exchanges’ portals. Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) will be applied to dividend payments as per the Income-tax Act, 2025.

Vishnu Chemicals Limited has communicated the tax deduction at source (TDS) rates applicable to the final dividend of ₹0.30 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The dividend, recommended by the Board on May 30, 2026, is payable subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 28, 2026. The record date to determine eligibility has been fixed as Friday, August 21, 2026, with payment to be made electronically on or before September 27, 2026.

As per the Income Tax Act, 2025, dividends are taxable in the hands of shareholders, necessitating TDS deduction by the company. The applicable tax rate varies based on the residential status of the shareholder and the validity of the Permanent Account Number (PAN). For resident individuals, the tax rate is 10% if a valid PAN is registered, while it rises to 20% if the PAN is invalid or not registered. No tax will be deducted if the total dividend income during FY27 does not exceed ₹10,000.

Resident non-individual members, such as insurance companies and mutual funds, may qualify for a NIL TDS rate upon submission of specific documentary evidence and exemption notifications. Non-resident members face a withholding tax rate of 20%, plus applicable surcharge and cess, unless they provide a valid Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and other declarations to claim benefits under the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) are subject to a 20% TDS without the provision for DTAA benefits.

Shareholders wishing to transfer tax credit to a beneficial owner or submit lower/nil tax deduction certificates must do so by 11:59 pm IST on Friday, August 7, 2026. The company has advised linking Aadhaar with PAN to avoid inoperative PAN status and higher tax deduction. Forms and declarations can be submitted via email to the company or its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA).
