The market read

The announcement primarily provides procedural information regarding tax implications on dividend payments, which is routine for listed companies. While it confirms a dividend, the focus is on compliance and documentation requirements for shareholders.

Himadri Speciality Chemical Limited has issued a communication to its shareholders regarding the tax deduction on dividend payments for the financial year 2026-27. The Board of Directors, in a meeting held on April 23, 2026, recommended a dividend of ₹0.80 per equity share (80%) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for Thursday, June 11, 2026.

As per the Income Tax Act, 2025, dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders. The company will be required to deduct tax at source (TDS) at the time of dividend payment. The TDS rate will vary based on the shareholder's residential status and submitted documentation. For resident individual shareholders, TDS will apply if the aggregate dividend exceeds ₹10,000, with a rate of 10% if PAN is provided and valid, and 20% otherwise. Shareholders can submit Form 121 for claiming tax exemption or lower withholding tax, either through their depository participants or directly to the company's RTA by June 2, 2026.

For non-individual resident shareholders, specific declarations are required for exemption, depending on their category (e.g., Insurance Company, Mutual Fund, AIF, NPS Trust). Non-resident shareholders can avail Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) benefits by submitting documents such as a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 41. The company has provided detailed instructions and annexures for various categories of shareholders to ensure appropriate TDS deduction or exemption.

Shareholders are urged to update their bank account details and complete KYC formalities, especially those holding shares in physical form, as dividend payments will only be made through electronic mode and require KYC compliance. The deadline for submitting tax-related documents to enable the company to determine the appropriate TDS rate is June 2, 2026. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors for specific implications.
