The bank will rely on records maintained by the registrar and depositories while applying the relevant TDS provisions.
Tax exemption and lower-deduction process
RBL Bank said it is emailing the communication to shareholders whose email addresses are registered with the bank, its registrar or the depositories. The communication outlines the process and documents required to claim a tax exemption or a lower rate of tax deduction, wherever applicable.
The filing clarifies that TDS will be applied in accordance with the shareholder details and applicable provisions available when the dividend is paid. Investors seeking concessional treatment should ensure their records and supporting documentation are complete within the stated timeline. The final payout is conditional on member approval at the forthcoming AGM.
