Siemens Limited has issued a communication to its members regarding the deduction of tax at source (TDS) on the dividend recommended by the Board of Directors. The recommended dividend is ₹18/- per equity share of ₹2/- each for the eighteen-month financial year ended March 31, 2026. This dividend, if approved at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM), will be paid to members holding equity shares as on the Record Date, which will be announced in due course.
The company is required to deduct tax at source at the time of dividend payment as per the Income-tax Act, 2025. Members are requested to provide the prescribed details and documents by Wednesday, July 29, 2026, to enable the company to determine the appropriate withholding tax rate. Details on TDS provisions for resident individuals, resident non-individuals, and non-resident members are provided, including requirements for PAN, Aadhaar linking, and tax residency certificates for non-residents to avail of Double Tax Avoidance Treaty (Tax Treaty) benefits.
For resident members, TDS is generally 10% if PAN is linked and valid, and 20% if not. Specific exemptions apply to resident individuals with total dividend income up to ₹10,000 or those providing Form 121, provided eligibility conditions are met. Resident non-individuals like insurance companies, mutual funds, and AIFs may also be exempt under certain conditions and upon submission of required documents.
For non-resident members, TDS is generally 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess. Tax Treaty benefits can be availed by providing a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), Form 41, and other declarations. The company emphasizes that the application of beneficial Tax Treaty rates depends on the completeness and satisfactory review of submitted documents. Failure to link Aadhaar with PAN may result in TDS at a higher rate of 20%.
Members are also reminded that dividends will be paid only in electronic form, and they should update their bank details with their Depository Participants (DPs) or the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited, for shares held in physical form. The company has also requested members to convert their physical holdings to demat mode.
