Indian Railway Finance Corporation Limited (IRFC) has announced the declaration of its second interim dividend for the financial year 2025–26. The company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of ₹1.05 per equity share with a face value of ₹10 each, rewarding shareholders with another payout during the ongoing financial year.
The company has fixed Friday, March 13, 2026, as the record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders for receiving the second interim dividend. Investors who hold shares as of the close of business hours on this date will qualify for the dividend payment.
For shareholders holding shares in dematerialised form, the dividend will be paid to those listed as beneficial owners in the records provided by the depositories. For investors holding physical shares, the dividend will be distributed to members whose names appear in the company’s register of members on the same date.
IRFC has stated that the interim dividend will be paid within 30 days from the date of its declaration, ensuring timely distribution to eligible shareholders.
The company has requested shareholders to update or submit their Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) related details with the Registrar and Transfer Agent before the specified deadline. Shareholders can submit the required information to the company’s registrar through the designated email address before March 13, 2026.
IRFC also clarified that any communication regarding tax determination or requests for lower tax deduction rates will not be entertained after the deadline. This step is intended to streamline the dividend payment process and ensure compliance with tax regulations.
IRFC has maintained a consistent dividend payout track record in recent years. Prior to the current announcement, the company declared an interim dividend of ₹1.05 per share with a record date of October 24, 2025. Earlier in 2025, the company declared two interim dividends of ₹0.80 per share in March and November 2024, along with a final dividend of ₹0.70 per share in August 2024.
