  1. Electronic dividend mandate
    Under the Section 242 of the Act, it is mandatory for all listed companies to pay cash dividend to its shareholders through electronic mode directly into the bank account designated by the entitled shareholders.
    To receive dividend directly into their bank account, shareholders are requested (if not already provided) to fill in the Shareholder Information Form for Electronic Credit of Cash
    Dividend available on the Company's website and send it duly signed along with a copy of valid CNIC to the Share Registrar, M/s. FAMCO Associates (Private) Limited, in case of physical shares.
    In case of shares held in CDC, Electronic Dividend Mandate Form must be directly submitted to shareholder's brokers / participant / CDC account services.
    In case of non-receipt of information, the Company will be constrained to withhold payment of dividend to shareholders.
  2. In compliance with Section 150 read with Division I of Part III of the First Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 withholding tax on dividend income will be deducted for
    'filer' and 'non-filer' shareholders at 15% and 30% respectively. A 'filer' is a taxpayer whose name appears in the Active Taxpayers List (ATL) issued by the FBR from time to time and a 'non-filer' is a person other than a filer. To enable the Company to withhold tax at 15% for filers, all shareholders are advised to ensure that their names appear in the latest available ATL on FBR website, otherwise tax on their cash dividend will be deducted at
    30% for non-filers. Withholding tax exemption from the dividend income shall only be allowed if a copy of valid tax exemption certificate is made available to the Share Registrar, M/s. FAMCO Associates (Private) Limited, of the Company by the first day of book closure.
    According to the FBR, withholding tax in case of joint accounts will be determined separately based on the 'Filer/ Non-Filer' status of the principal shareholder as well as the status of the joint holder(s) based on their shareholding proportions. Members that hold shares with joint shareholders are requested to provide the shareholding proportions of the principal shareholder and the joint holder(s) in respect of shares held by them to our Share Registrar, M/s. FAMCO Associates (Private) Limited, in writing. In case the required information is not provided to our Registrar it will be assumed that the shares are held in equal proportion by the principal shareholder and the joint holder(s).
  3. Submission of valid CNIC (Mandatory)
    As per SECP directives, the dividend of shareholders, whose valid CNICs are not available with the Share Registrar, may be withheld. All shareholders having physical shareholding are therefore advised to submit a photocopy of their valid CNICs immediately, if already not provided, to the Share Registrar, M/s. FAMCO Associates (Private) Limited without any further delay.
