Acutaas Chemicals Limited (formerly Ami Organics Limited) has announced its recommended final dividend of ₹2.50 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This recommendation is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming 19th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for Thursday, September 24, 2026. The dividend will be paid to shareholders on record as of September 17, 2026.
The company has also issued a detailed communication to its shareholders regarding the deduction of tax at source (TDS) on this dividend, in compliance with the Income-tax Act, 2025. The communication explains the various TDS rates applicable to resident and non-resident shareholders, depending on factors such as PAN, Aadhaar linking, and submission of specific forms and declarations.
For resident shareholders, TDS will generally be 10% if PAN is provided, and 20% if PAN is not provided or not linked with Aadhaar. However, no tax will be deducted if the total dividend received by resident individuals does not exceed ₹10,000, or if they provide Form 121 meeting eligibility criteria, or an exemption certificate. Specific declarations and documentation are required for resident non-individuals like insurance companies, mutual funds, and AIFs to avail exemptions.
Non-resident shareholders will generally face a withholding tax rate of 20% plus surcharge and cess. They have the option to claim benefits under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) by providing a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), PAN, and other required forms. Shareholders are urged to submit all necessary documents by September 15, 2026, to enable the company to determine the correct TDS rate. The company also emphasized the importance of updating bank account details and KYC compliance for direct dividend credit.
