The announcement provides detailed information regarding dividend payment and tax implications, which is informational and procedural. While the dividend itself is positive, the core of the announcement focuses on compliance and tax regulations.
Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited has issued a communication to its shareholders regarding the Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on dividends for the Financial Year 2025-26. The Board of Directors, in a meeting held on May 29, 2026, recommended a dividend of ₹17.70 per equity share (177%) for FY 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval. The record date for this dividend is September 18, 2026.
The company detailed the applicable TDS provisions under the Indian Income Tax Act, 2025, for both resident and non-resident shareholders. For resident individual shareholders, TDS will be deducted at 10%, unless the aggregate dividend does not exceed ₹10,000, in which case TDS will not apply. Specific documentation, such as Form 121, is required for claiming exemptions or lower tax rates, with a deadline of August 31, 2026, for submission.
Non-resident shareholders are subject to withholding tax at 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), or lower rates if a certificate under Section 395 of the Act is provided. They also have the option to be governed by Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) provisions if more beneficial, requiring submission of documents like a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and electronically filed Form 41. The company emphasized that PAN-Aadhaar linking is crucial, and failure to do so may result in TDS at a higher rate of 20%.
Shareholders are requested to provide necessary details and documents by August 31, 2026, to enable the company to determine the appropriate TDS rate. The company also provided details on updating shareholder records and the process for dividend payment through electronic modes for physical shareholding.
