Trident Limited announced the declaration of its first interim dividend for the Financial Year 2026-27. The Board of Directors, in a meeting held on May 19, 2026, approved an interim dividend of ₹0.50 per equity share, with a face value of ₹1 each, representing a 50% payout.
The record date for determining the eligibility of shareholders to receive this dividend has been set as May 23, 2026. Shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members or beneficial owners as per the depositories on this date will be entitled to the dividend.
The announcement also details the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) provisions applicable to this dividend for both resident and non-resident shareholders, as per the Income-tax Act, 2025. For resident shareholders, the TDS rate is generally 10%, unless PAN is invalid (20%). Exemptions and specific conditions apply, such as for dividend income not exceeding ₹10,000 for resident individuals or when Form 121 is provided. Various entities like Mutual Funds, Insurance Companies, and government bodies may be eligible for NIL TDS under specific conditions and documentation.
For non-resident shareholders, the withholding tax is generally 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess. However, they can opt to be governed by Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) by providing necessary documentation, including a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 41. The company reserves the right to apply beneficial DTAA rates based on the completeness and satisfactory review of submitted documents.
The company also emphasized the importance of updating KYC details for shareholders holding shares in physical form, as mandated by SEBI circulars. Failure to update KYC details by April 01, 2024, could result in dividend payments being withheld. Shareholders are requested to submit necessary forms like ISR-1, ISR-2, SH-13, and ISR-3 to their Registrar and Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited, by May 26, 2026, to ensure timely processing of dividends and other services.
