dividend is Monday, July 20, 2026 and the dividend will be paid on or before August 25, 2026
(i.e. within 30 days from the date of declaration of final dividend).
2. Pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 2025 (“the Act”), dividend income is
taxable in the hands of the members and the Company is required to deduct tax at source
(“TDS”) from dividend paid to the members at the rates applicable as per the IT Act read with

Resident Shareholder or a Non-Resident Shareholder and also sub-classified as
Individual/Company/Firm/HUF/AOP/other entity based on the Permanent Account Number

4. Further, we wish to inform that Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), vide its Master
Circular No. HO/38/13/(4)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/4298/2026 dated February 06, 2026, has issued,
guidelines on “Common and Simplified Norms for Processing Investor’s Service Requests by
RTAs and norms for furnishing PAN, KYC details and Nomination.”
“Para 20.1. of the Master Circular mandates all the holders of physical securities to furnish PAN,
Choice of Nomination, Contact details, Bank A/c details and Specimen signature for their
corresponding folio numbers. In continuation of the same, Para 20.2. lays down the procedure
for availing services and payment of dividend etc. in the folios without PAN, KYC details and
Nomination which reads as under:
“20.2. Folios without PAN and KYC details: The security holder(s) whose folio(s) do not have
PAN, Contact Details, Bank Account Details and Specimen Signature updated, shall be
eligible:
(a) to lodge grievance or avail any service request from the RTA only after furnishing PAN and
KYC details.
(b) for any payment including dividend, interest or redemption payment in respect of such
folios, only through electronic mode with effect from April 1, 2024. An intimation shall be
sent by the Listed Company to the securityholder that such payment is due and shall be
made electronically only upon complying with the requirements stated in Para 20.1 of this
Master Circular.
5. In view of the above, if you are holding shares in physical form, you are required to furnish valid
PAN, Choice of Nomination, Contact Details, Bank Account Details and updated Specimen
Signature immediately to company’s RTA in the prescribed forms, if not already done, to avail
uninterrupted service requests as well as dividend credit in bank account, as no dividend will
be paid by way of issuance of physical warrant, with effect from April 1, 2024. For your
convenience, you may also dematerialize the physical holding so as to avail the benefit of
electronic dividend payment.
6. However, if you are holding shares in dematerialized form and wish to update the records such

Signature, etc. you may do so with your relevant depositories through your depository
participants, well before the Record date.

where a valid PAN has been furnished by the concerned resident shareholders to their
respective Depository Participants (in case shares are held in dematerialised form) or to the RTA
of the Company (in case shares are held in physical form). In the absence of a valid PAN, the
applicable rate of TDS will be 20%.
Members (Resident Individual shareholders) are required to link their Aadhaar number with
PAN as required under Section 262 (2) read with Rule 162, before the Record Date. If any PAN
is found to have not been linked with Aadhaar, then such PAN shall be deemed inoperative
