Jubilant Foodworks Limited (JFL) has issued a communication to its shareholders regarding Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on the proposed dividend for the Financial Year 2025-26. The Board of Directors had recommended a dividend of ₹1.20 per equity share (60%) on May 20, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The dividend, if approved, will be paid within 30 days from the AGM date to shareholders of record as of July 17, 2026. The company is required to deduct TDS on this dividend as per the Income Tax Act, 2025. The TDS rate will vary based on the shareholder's residential status and the documentation provided.
For resident shareholders, the TDS rate is 10% if a valid PAN is available and 20% if a PAN is not available or invalid. Shareholders can avail lower or nil rates by submitting valid certificates or forms, such as Form 121 (replacing Forms 15G & 15H), under specific conditions. For non-resident shareholders, including FPIs, the TDS rate is 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess, or a lower rate as per applicable tax treaties, provided necessary documentation like a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and PAN are submitted.
Shareholders are requested to submit all applicable documents and declarations by August 06, 2026, through the RTA portal provided by MUFG Intime India Private Limited. The company emphasizes that incomplete documents or those received after the deadline will not be considered. JFL will not accept declarations via email. The TDS certificate will be emailed to shareholders in due course. Shareholders are also advised to update their bank details in their demat accounts or physical folios for timely dividend receipt.
