Why Do They Matter? Understanding the terminology around dividend eligibility is crucial for investors: Ex-Dividend Date (Ex-Date): The first trading day on which a buyer of shares does NOT qualify for the declared dividend. If you purchase shares on or after the ex-date, you will not receive that dividend. Record Date: The date on which the company examines its register of shareholders to determine who is eligible for the dividend. In India, under T+1 settlement, the record date and ex-date are typically the same day. Book Closure: A period when the company’s transfer books are closed, preventing transfer of shares. Most companies listed above have not announced a separate book closure period. Key Takeaway: To receive the dividend, you must hold the shares in your demat account before the ex-date. Buying on the ex-date itself makes you ineligible. Detailed Company Profiles: Dividend-Paying Stocks 1. Government of India – 727GS2026 (Interest Payment) The 727GS2026 bond is a Government of India G-Sec (Government Security) with a face value of Rs 100 per unit. Unlike equity dividends, this is a fixed coupon interest payment on the sovereign debt instrument listed on NSE under the Debt segment (Series: GS). The ex-date and record date are both set for April 7, 2026. Government Securities are considered the safest investment instruments in India, backed by the sovereign guarantee of the Government of India. Investors in G-Secs receive periodic interest (coupon) payments throughout the bond’s tenure. The 727GS2026 designation indicates this security matures in 2026, making this potentially a final or near-final coupon payment for bondholders. 2. Jash Engineering Limited (NSE: JASH) – Interim Dividend Jash Engineering Limited, a small-cap industrial company, has declared an interim dividend of Re 0.60 per equity share against a face value of Rs 2. The ex-date and record date are both fixed at April 10, 2026. This represents a 30% payout on face value. Jash Engineering specialises in manufacturing fluid control equipment including gates, valves, screens, and related products primarily for water and wastewater management infrastructure. Despite being a modest dividend in absolute terms, it reflects the company’s commitment to shareholder returns even from operational cash flows mid-year. 3. Sanofi India Limited (NSE: SANOFI) – Final Dividend of Rs 48 Sanofi India Limited has announced a final dividend of Rs 48 per equity share (face value Rs 10), representing a 480% payout.

The Board recommended this dividend at its meeting held on February 25, 2026, subject to approval at the 70th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for April 29, 2026. Total FY2025 Payout: Including the earlier interim dividend of Rs 75 per share declared in October 2025, the combined total payout for FY2025 (ended December 31, 2025) stands at Rs 123 per share — one of the highest in the Indian pharmaceutical sector. Sanofi India is a subsidiary of France-based Sanofi SA, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. It specialises in diabetes care, cardiovascular health, thrombosis, and CNS therapies. Its flagship brands in India include Lantus, Combiflam, and Allegra. The dividend will be paid on or before May 28, 2026, to shareholders registered as of the April 22 record date. 4.

CIE Automotive India is a leading manufacturer of forgings and other auto components. It is a subsidiary of CIE Automotive S.A. of Spain. The company caters to both domestic and global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the passenger car, commercial vehicle, and two-wheeler segments. Its consistent dividend track record — including Rs 7 per share in April 2025 for FY2024 — demonstrates reliable shareholder value creation. 5.

Mutual Fund Taxation in India 2026: LTCG, STCG, Dividend Tax, Debt Funds & How to File ITR

Mutual funds have become the investment vehicle of choice for millions of Indians, with Assets Under Management (AUM) crossing Rs. 65 lakh crore. Yet, despite their popularity, the taxation of mutual funds remains confusing for many investors. The tax treatment differs significantly between equity and debt funds, between growth and dividend (IDCW) options, and between short-term and long-term holdings. This guide provides a complete, up-to-date breakdown of mutual fund taxation in India for 2026 — covering every category of fund, applicable tax rates, indexation rules, dividend taxation, and how to correctly report your mutual fund income in your ITR. Types of Mutual Funds and Their Tax Classification For tax purposes, mutual funds are broadly classified into equity-oriented funds (where at least 65% of assets are invested in domestic equity shares) and non-equity or debt funds (all others, including pure debt funds, gold funds, international funds, and hybrid funds with less than 65% equity exposure). This classification determines the holding period for LTCG treatment and the applicable tax rate. Taxation of Equity Mutual Funds Equity mutual funds held for more than 12 months qualify for Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) treatment. LTCG on equity mutual funds is taxed at 12.5% for gains exceeding Rs. 1.25 lakh per year (as per the 2024 Budget, without indexation). Gains within Rs. 1.25 lakh are exempt. Equity funds held for 12 months or less generate Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG), taxed at a flat rate of 20%. Real-Life Example: Anjali invested Rs. 3 lakh in an equity mutual fund in January 2024 through a lump sum. By April 2026 (over 12 months), her investment has grown to Rs. 4.5 lakh — a gain of Rs. 1.5 lakh. The first Rs. 1.25 lakh is exempt; the remaining Rs. 25,000 is taxed at 12.5%, resulting in a tax of just Rs. 3,125. Her effective tax rate on the gain is barely 2% — significantly lower than slab rates. Taxation of Debt Mutual Funds The taxation of debt mutual funds changed dramatically from April 1, 2023. All debt mutual fund gains (regardless of holding period) are now taxed at your applicable income slab rate — there is no longer a preferential LTCG rate or indexation benefit for debt funds. This is a significant change that made many debt funds less attractive compared to FDs from a tax perspective, though debt funds still offer daily liquidity and NAV-based pricing. For debt funds purchased before April 1, 2023, the old rules (20% with indexation for holdings above 36 months) may still apply for the portion of gains accrued before the law change, subject to specific provisions. Investors in these funds should consult a tax advisor for accurate computation. Taxation of Gold Funds, International Funds, and Hybrid Funds Gold funds (including Gold ETFs and Gold Fund of Funds) held for more than 24 months qualify for LTCG taxed at 12.5% without indexation (following 2024 Budget changes). Gold funds held for 24 months or less are taxed at slab rate as STCG. International/overseas funds (less than 65% Indian equity) are taxed as debt funds — at slab rate for all holding periods. Hybrid funds with 65%+ equity are taxed as equity funds; those below 65% equity are taxed as debt funds. Dividend (IDCW) Taxation on Mutual Funds Since April 2020, mutual fund dividends — now called IDCW (Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal) — are taxable in the hands of the investor as ‘Income from Other Sources’ at their applicable slab rate. Additionally, mutual fund companies deduct TDS at 10% on IDCW payouts exceeding Rs. 5,000 per year. This means the growth option is generally more tax-efficient for high-tax-bracket investors, as gains are taxed only on redemption rather than at every distribution. How to Report Mutual Fund Gains in Your ITR Mutual fund capital gains must be reported in Schedule CG (Capital Gains) of your ITR. Equity fund gains go under LTCG (listed) or STCG (listed) as applicable. Debt fund and other non-equity fund gains go under STCG or LTCG for assets other than securities. Your mutual fund company provides a capital gains statement at year-end (available through the AMC’s website or Karvy/CAMS platforms) which shows all transactions, purchase prices, sale prices, and computed gains — making ITR filing straightforward.
