KPI Green Energy Limited has announced that its Board of Directors, in a meeting held on May 6, 2026, recommended a final dividend of 5%, equivalent to Re. 0.25 per equity share. Additionally, a special dividend of Re. 0.15 per equity share has been recommended, bringing the total dividend payout to Re. 0.40 per equity share of face value Rs. 5 for the financial year 2025-26.
The dividend will be paid to shareholders whose names appear on the company's register of members or beneficial owners as of the record date, which is scheduled for September 22, 2026. This dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The company has provided detailed communication to shareholders regarding the deduction of tax at source (TDS) on the dividend payout, as per the Income-tax Act, 2025. For resident shareholders with a valid PAN, TDS will be 10%, while those without a valid PAN or with PAN not linked to Aadhaar will face a 20% TDS. Specific conditions and forms, such as Form 121 for resident individuals receiving over Rs. 10,000 in dividend, are outlined. Exemptions and reduced TDS rates are also detailed for various resident non-individual categories, including insurance companies, mutual funds, AIFs, and business trusts, provided they submit the necessary documentation.
For non-resident shareholders, TDS under domestic tax law is 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). They also have the option to avail benefits under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) by providing specific documents like a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 41. A cut-off date of September 21, 2026, has been set for the submission of all tax-related documents to determine the appropriate TDS rate. Shareholders are advised to submit complete and signed documents to avoid TDS at a higher rate. The company also emphasized the requirement for electronic dividend payment, urging shareholders to update their bank details.
