Linde India declares 120% dividend; sets Aug 6 record date, clarifies TDS rules.
Linde India declared a 120% dividend (₹12 per share) for FY26, with August 6, 2026, as the record date. The company issued an advisory on Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) for dividend payments, detailing documentation requirements for resident and non-resident shareholders. A deadline of July 27, 2026, is set for submitting tax-related documents.
The dividend announcement is a positive financial event for shareholders. The detailed communication on TDS, while procedural, is crucial for shareholders to receive their dividend correctly and avoid issues. The impact is medium as it directly affects shareholder returns and requires their action on documentation.
The company announced a significant dividend payout, which is generally viewed positively by shareholders. While the communication focuses on tax regulations, the dividend itself is a positive financial event.
Linde India Limited has announced a dividend of 120%, which includes a special dividend of 80%, amounting to ₹12 per equity share on 8,52,84,223 equity shares for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company has fixed Thursday, August 6, 2026, as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility for this dividend.
Shareholders are advised to ensure their bank account details are updated by the record date for direct credit of the dividend. The company also provided detailed information regarding Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on dividend as per the Income Tax Act, 2025. Various resident and non-resident shareholder categories have specific TDS rates and documentation requirements, with a deadline of July 27, 2026, for submitting necessary documents to the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited.
Shareholders must update their PAN, residential status, and other relevant details. For non-residents, benefits under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) can be availed upon submission of required documentation. The company emphasized that it will rely on details available on the record date for TDS purposes and advised shareholders to consult their tax advisors for specific circumstances.
