Welspun Corp Limited has established June 30, 2026, as the cut-off date for shareholders to submit necessary documents to determine the applicable tax deduction rate on the proposed dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The Board of Directors recommended a dividend of 100%, or ₹5 per equity share of face value ₹5 each, at its meeting held on May 21, 2026. The payout is subject to approval by shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
Under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 2025, the company is required to deduct tax at source from dividends payable to shareholders. The applicable rate depends on the shareholder's residency status and the submission of valid declarations such as Permanent Account Number (PAN) details or specific forms for exemptions.
Tax Deduction Rates for Shareholders
The company outlined the tax deduction structure for different categories of shareholders. For resident individuals, no tax will be deducted if the total dividend during the financial year does not exceed ₹10,000 or if Form 121 is submitted. For other resident shareholders with a valid PAN, the tax deduction rate is 10%, rising to 20% if PAN is unavailable or invalid.
Non-resident shareholders face a withholding tax rate of 20%, plus applicable surcharge and cess, unless they provide documents to claim benefits under Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA). To avail treaty benefits, non-residents must submit a Tax Residency Certificate, Form 41, and a self-declaration regarding beneficial ownership.
| Shareholder Category | Condition | Tax Deduction Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Resident Individuals | Dividend ≤ ₹10,000 or Form 121 submitted | Nil |
| Resident Shareholders | Valid PAN provided | 10% |
| Resident Shareholders | PAN not provided/invalid | 20% |
| Non-Resident Shareholders | Standard rate (no treaty docs) | 20% + surcharge + cess |
| Non-Resident Shareholders | Valid DTAA documents submitted | Treaty Rate |
Document Submission Requirements
Shareholders must send scanned copies of the required forms to the company's registrar or via email to CS_WCL@welspun.com or investor.helpdesk@in.mpms.mufg.com on or before June 30, 2026. Resident individuals can also submit Form 121 electronically through their Depository Participants, either NSDL or CDSL.
The company stated that any communication received after the deadline will not be considered for determining the tax rate. If tax is deducted at a higher rate due to non-submission of documents, shareholders may file a return of income to claim a refund if eligible.
