ITC to offer85% of profit as dividend in medium term

ITC has decided to offer 80-85 per cent of its profit after tax (PAT) as dividend to its shareholders, which will be effective from the current financial year. This would be applicable in the medium term.

According to a company notice on updated dividend distribution policy available on its website, the board may declare interim dividend at its discretion. The final dividend may include special dividend as recommended by the board.

The new policy can be amended and reviewed as and when required by the board.

However, over the past 10 years, ITC usually hasn’t been paying interim dividend but only final ones and paid special dividend only on two occasions — in June 2011 and May 2016.
