TCS Second Interim Dividend brings good news for eligible shareholders, with Tata Consultancy Services announcing a payout of ₹12 per equity share for the financial year 2026-27.
Investors holding 10 shares could receive ₹120 before applicable taxes, subject to meeting the company’s eligibility criteria.
The announcement was made on October 8, 2026, alongside the company’s second-quarter financial results.
TCS has also confirmed the record date and payment date for shareholders waiting to receive the dividend.
TCS Second Interim Dividend: Record Date and Payment Date
TCS has fixed October 14, 2026, as the record date to determine which shareholders qualify for the second interim dividend.
Investors whose names appear in the company’s register of members or in the records of depositories as beneficial owners on the record date will be eligible for the payout.
The company has scheduled the dividend payment for October 30, 2026.
Eligible shareholders should ensure that their demat account and linked bank account details are correct to help avoid payment-related delays.
Investors should also consider the stock market’s settlement cycle when deciding whether a share purchase will qualify for the dividend.
Simply buying shares on or after the record date will not make an investor eligible for this payout.
How Much Dividend Will TCS Shareholders Receive?
The dividend amount depends on the number of eligible TCS shares held.
The company has declared ₹12 for each equity share with a face value of ₹1.
An investor holding 10 shares would receive ₹120 before applicable taxes.
Those holding 50 shares could receive ₹600, while an investment of 100 shares would qualify for ₹1,200 before taxes.
The following calculations show the potential dividend amount:
For 1 share, the dividend is ₹12.
For 10 shares, the dividend is ₹120.
For 50 shares, the dividend is ₹600.
For 100 shares, the dividend is ₹1,200.
For 500 shares, the dividend is ₹6,000.
These figures represent the dividend before any applicable tax deduction.
The actual amount credited may differ depending on the shareholder’s tax status and applicable requirements.
TCS Has Declared ₹24 Per Share in Interim Dividends for FY27 So Far
The latest announcement is TCS’s second interim dividend for FY27.
The company had earlier declared an interim dividend of ₹12 per share in July 2026.
With the latest ₹12 payout, the total interim dividends declared for FY27 so far stand at ₹24 per share.
This figure covers the two interim dividends announced to date and does not include any future dividend that the company may consider.
Dividend payments provide shareholders with a cash return on eligible holdings, but they do not guarantee a profit on the overall investment.
The market price of a share can rise or fall, and investors should consider their financial goals and risk tolerance before making investment decisions.
What TCS Investors Should Check Before the Payout
Shareholders should verify their eligibility against the October 14 record date and check that their account details are updated.
They should also remember that the announced ₹12 amount is a dividend per share, not a guaranteed return on the market value of their investment.
The TCS Second Interim Dividend payment is scheduled for October 30, 2026. Investors should refer to official company disclosures for any subsequent clarification about the payout.
