The Great Eastern Shipping Company Limited has announced an interim dividend of ₹14.40 per equity share for the financial year 2026-27. The company has provided detailed communication to its shareholders regarding the deduction of Income-tax at source (TDS) on this dividend, as per the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025.
The applicable TDS rate will vary based on the shareholder's residential status and submitted documentation. For resident individual shareholders with a valid PAN linked to Aadhaar, TDS will be deducted at 10%. However, TDS will not be deducted if the dividend paid to an individual does not exceed ₹10,000 in aggregate during the tax year, or if the individual shareholder submits a valid Form No. 121. For resident non-individuals like insurance companies, AIFs, and mutual funds, TDS will not be deducted if they provide necessary self-declarations and documents by August 7, 2026.
For non-resident shareholders, TDS will be deducted as per the Income-tax Act, or they can opt for beneficial Double Tax Avoidance Treaty (DTAA) rates by furnishing specific documents, including Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form No. 41, by August 7, 2026. Shareholders are urged to update their PAN, email address, bank details, and residential status with their depositories or the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA) by August 7, 2026, to ensure correct TDS deduction and avoid dividend withholding. All dividend payments will be made electronically.
