Shareholders of Jamna Auto Industries have a few dates to note. One of them decides who can get the company's proposed final dividend.
The company shared all these dates with the stock exchanges in a letter dated September 4, 2026. Let us take them one by one.
First, the Big Meeting
Jamna Auto will hold its 60th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 11:30 AM IST.
An AGM is a yearly meeting of a company. Shareholders vote on important matters there. One of these matters is the dividend, which is a part of the company's profit that is paid to its shareholders.
This meeting will not be held in a hall. It will be held online, through video conferencing (VC) or other audio-visual means (OAVM). The company is following the circulars of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
But the meeting date is not the most important date for the dividend. That one comes a week earlier.
The Date That Comes a Week Before
The company has fixed Tuesday, September 22, 2026 as the record date.
Think of the record date as a guest list. The company checks who is on the list on that day, and only those people can get the dividend.
Two types of shareholders will be on this list:
- Members whose names appear in the company's Register of Members on September 22, 2026.
- Beneficial owners whose names appear in the list that National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) will give to the company for September 22, 2026.
Beneficial owners are shareholders who hold their shares in demat form. NSDL and CDSL are the two depositories that keep the records of such shares.
Now comes the question that many readers will ask: how much is the dividend?
How Much Is the Proposed Dividend?
The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. The face value of each share is ₹1. The Board announced this recommendation in May 2026, when the company shared its results for the quarter ended March 2026.
There is one more part to this story. For the same financial year, the company had already declared an interim dividend of ₹1 per share. If shareholders approve the final dividend, the total dividend for FY 2025-26 will be ₹2.50 per share.
But the final dividend is not certain yet. Shareholders have to approve it first.
Approval Comes First, Payment Comes Next
The final dividend will be paid only if it is declared at the AGM. If it is declared, the company will pay it within 30 days from the date of declaration.
The Books Will Be Closed for a Week
The company will also close its Register of Members and Share Transfer Books. This will start on Wednesday, September 23, 2026 and will go on till Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Both days are included.
The company has said this is for the AGM and for the payment of the final dividend.
