Hindustan Copper Limited announced that its Board of Directors, in a meeting held on February 5, 2026, approved the payment of an interim dividend of ₹1 per equity share for the Financial Year 2025-26. The dividend, with a face value of ₹5 per share, will be credited by March 6, 2026. The record date for determining the eligible shareholders for this dividend is February 13, 2026. The company also informed shareholders about the process of Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on the interim dividend payment, in accordance with the Finance Act, 2020. Since the Dividend Distribution Tax has been abolished and dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders, Hindustan Copper will be required to deduct tax at source at prescribed rates. Shareholders must ensure that their Permanent Account Number (PAN), residential status, category of shareholder, and updated address are submitted to the company. The company will rely on the details available as of the record date, February 13, 2026, for TDS compliance. Shareholders are advised to keep their bank details updated with their depository participants or the company's Registrar and Transfer Agent to facilitate electronic dividend payment. Failure to update KYC details may result in the withholding of the dividend.
