REC Limited has announced its fourth interim dividend for the financial year 2025–26, rewarding shareholders with a payout of ₹3.20 per equity share.
The announcement was made after the company’s Board of Directors meeting held on March 16, 2026, where the board approved an interim dividend of 32% on the face value of ₹10 per share. The dividend reflects the company’s continued financial strength and consistent shareholder returns.
The company has fixed Friday, March 20, 2026 as the record date to determine shareholders eligible to receive the interim dividend. Investors whose names appear as beneficial owners in the records of depositories or in the company’s register of members at the close of business on the record date will qualify for the dividend payment.
According to the company, the interim dividend will be paid on or before April 14, 2026.
REC also reminded shareholders that dividend income is taxable in the hands of investors under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. As a result, the company is required to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) when distributing the dividend.
Shareholders who wish to claim lower TDS deduction or exemption must submit the necessary documents—including PAN details and Form 15G or Form 15H—for the financial year 2025–26. These documents must be submitted on or before March 20, 2026, unless already provided earlier.
The company stated that once the deadline passes, requests for tax determination or lower TDS deduction will not be entertained.
