TDS on Dividend Payments
As per the Income Tax Act, 2025, dividends are taxable in the hands of shareholders.

The applicable TDS rate will vary depending on the shareholder’s residential status and the documents they provide to the Company.
Documentation and Deadlines
The communication provides detailed tables outlining the TDS rates and required documentation for both resident and non-resident shareholders. For resident shareholders, a 10% TDS will be applied if they have a Permanent Account Number (PAN). For non-resident shareholders, the rate is 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess, or the Tax Treaty rate, whichever is lower. Special provisions and forms, such as Form 121 (erstwhile Forms 15G and 15H) and Form 41 (erstwhile Form 10F), are detailed for various exemption categories.
All necessary documents and self-declarations must be submitted to the Company or its Registrar, MUFG Intime India Private Limited, by Friday, September 18, 2026.
