Thomas Cook India Board Recommends ₹0.45 Dividend; Details Tax Deduction Process
The announcement includes a dividend recommendation, which is directly relevant to shareholders' returns, and provides crucial details on tax implications and compliance, requiring action from shareholders. This has a medium impact on investors.
The company has recommended a dividend, which is a positive financial return for its shareholders.
* Thomas Cook (India) Limited's Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 12th May, 2025, has recommended a dividend of ₹0.45 (Rupees Forty-Five paise only) per equity share of face value ₹1/- each for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2025. * This dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for Wednesday, September 03, 2025. * As per the Income Tax Act, 1961, dividend paid will be taxable in the hands of shareholders, requiring the company to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). * For Resident Shareholders: * TDS at 10% will be deducted if a valid Permanent Account Number (PAN) is registered. If PAN is invalid/not registered or the shareholder is a specified person, TDS will be 20%. * No TDS for resident individuals if total dividend for FY 2025-26 does not exceed ₹10,000, or if Form 15G/15H is provided (meeting eligibility conditions). * Certain resident non-individuals (e.g., Insurance Companies, Mutual Funds, AIF, NPS Trust) may be exempt from TDS upon providing specific declarations and documents. * Lower/NIL TDS rates are applicable if a certificate under Section 197 of the Act is provided. * For Non-Resident Shareholders: * TDS will be withheld at 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) as per domestic tax law. * Beneficial rates under Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) can be availed if more favorable, subject to submission of required documents including PAN, Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) for FY 2025-26, online Form 10F (mandatory from April 1, 2023), and a self-declaration of beneficial ownership. * The company reserves the right to deny DTAA benefits if documents are incomplete or unsatisfactory. * Shareholders must ensure their PAN is linked with Aadhaar, as failure to do so may result in a higher TDS rate of 20%. * Documents for tax determination/deduction (e.g., Form 15G/15H, DTAA related documents) must be submitted on or before Thursday, August 21, 2025. Submissions after this cutoff will be at the company's sole discretion. * Shareholders are advised to update their bank account details for timely direct credit of dividends.
