Navin Fluorine International has announced a final dividend of ₹8.60 per equity share for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. This decision was made during the company’s board meeting on April 29, 2026, and is subject to approval at the upcoming 28th Annual General Meeting.
The dividend will be distributed to shareholders holding equity shares, either in electronic or physical form, based on their eligibility as of the record date, which is set for June 12, 2026. The payment is scheduled to be made on or after August 13, 2026.
In compliance with the Finance Act, 2020, dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders. Consequently, Navin Fluorine will deduct tax at source at the time of distribution or payment of the dividend. The rate of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) will vary depending on the residential status of the shareholder and the documents submitted to the company.
For resident shareholders, a TDS rate of 10% will apply, provided they have updated their PAN with the depositories or the company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, Kfin Technologies Limited. No tax will be deducted if the dividend income does not exceed ₹10,000 during FY 2026-27 or if the shareholder is exempted from TDS provisions and provides the necessary documentation.
Non-resident shareholders will face a TDS rate of 20% plus applicable surcharge and cess, unless they opt for a lower rate under a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement by submitting the required documents, including a Tax Residency Certificate and self-declarations.
Shareholders are advised to submit the necessary documents to KFin by the stipulated deadline to ensure the correct application of TDS rates.
