Sportking India Limited (SPORTKING) has communicated important information to its shareholders regarding the Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on the final dividend for the Financial Year 2025-26. The Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of ₹1 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval at the 37th Annual General Meeting (AGM).
As per the Income-tax Act, 2025, dividend payments are taxable in the hands of shareholders, and the company is mandated to deduct TDS at prescribed rates. The communication details the process and documentation required for both resident and non-resident shareholders to claim tax exemptions or apply beneficial DTAA rates. For resident shareholders, TDS will generally be 10% if PAN is valid, and 20% otherwise. Exemptions may apply for resident individuals if the total dividend does not exceed ₹10,000 or if Form 121 is provided. Specific documentation is also outlined for various resident non-individual entities like insurance companies, mutual funds, and AIFs.
Non-resident shareholders can opt for DTAA benefits by submitting a PAN, Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), and a self-declaration, with a deadline of August 31, 2026, for submission. The company emphasizes that failure to link PAN with Aadhaar may result in TDS at a higher rate of 20%. The record date for the final dividend has been set as September 5, 2026. Shareholders are urged to update their KYC details, email addresses, and bank account information with their respective depositories or the Registrar and Transfer Agent, M/s.
