The company has fixed May 25, 2026, as the record date to determine eligible shareholders for the dividend payout.

In an exchange filing, TCS said shareholders holding the stock at the close of business hours on the record date will be entitled to receive the final dividend.

In simple terms, the record date is the cut-off date set by a company to check which shareholders are eligible to receive benefits such as dividends.

For Tata Consultancy Services, May 25, 2026, is the record date for its final dividend of Rs 31 per share.

This means if your name appears in the company’s shareholder records on May 25, you will receive the dividend.

TCS dividend payment date

The final dividend, if approved by shareholders at the upcoming annual general meeting (AGM), will be paid on June 12, 2026, subject to deduction of applicable tax at source.
