Info Edge dividend 2026: dates, AGM vote, payout

What Info Edge announced for FY26 dividend

Info Edge (India) Ltd has recommended a final dividend of ₹3.60 per equity share (face value ₹2 each) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The recommendation was approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on May 22, 2026. The proposal is not final until shareholders vote on it at the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The corporate updates come alongside Info Edge’s 31st AGM, scheduled for August 25, 2026. The meeting will be held through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), as stated in the company’s disclosures.

Key dividend dates investors need to track

The company has fixed Friday, July 24, 2026, as the record date to determine which shareholders are eligible for the proposed final dividend. The ex-dividend date is also July 24, 2026. This matters because eligibility is linked to whether the shares are in an investor’s demat account by the record date, based on the applicable settlement cycle.

Info Edge has also communicated the expected payment timeline. If shareholders approve the final dividend at the AGM, the dividend will be credited or dispatched on or after Wednesday, September 2, 2026, subject to deduction of tax at source.

How the T+1 settlement affects eligibility

The disclosure notes that to receive the Info Edge (India) Ltd dividend, investors must hold NAUKRI shares before the ex-date of July 24, 2026. Under India’s T+1 settlement framework, buying on the ex-date itself makes an investor ineligible for the dividend because the trade would settle after the record date.

This is a practical point for retail investors who track dividends around the record date but may not factor in settlement timelines. With both the ex-date and record date falling on July 24, 2026, the “buy” decision must be planned earlier than the ex-date to ensure the shares are credited in time.

AGM details and e-voting schedule

Info Edge’s 31st Annual General Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 5:30 P.M. IST. The company has laid out the remote e-voting window ahead of the AGM.

Remote e-voting will start on Friday, August 21, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. IST and will end on Monday, August 24, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. IST. The cut-off date for voting rights is Tuesday, August 18, 2026, which is the date used to determine which shareholders can vote on AGM resolutions.

KYC and tax documentation deadlines

Alongside the dividend timeline, shareholders have been advised to update KYC details and submit tax documents by August 13, 2026. This step typically supports correct tax withholding and smoother processing of the dividend payout, especially when tax rate benefits depend on valid documentation.

The company has also indicated that the dividend amount, once approved, is credited to the shareholder’s linked bank account within 30 days of the record date, subject to applicable processes and tax deduction.

Interim dividends paid during FY26

In addition to the proposed final dividend, Info Edge declared two interim dividends during FY26. Each interim dividend was ₹2.40 per equity share. This provides context on the company’s overall shareholder payout actions during the year, separate from the final dividend that now requires shareholder approval.

What the market heard on May 22

The final dividend recommendation was disclosed after the May 22, 2026 board meeting. One report also noted that the stock “rallied sharply” in Friday trade on the day of the announcement. No specific percentage move was provided in the shared details, but the description signals that the update was actively tracked by market participants.

Dividend history data disclosed with payouts

Info Edge also disclosed earlier dividend entries, including payout totals presented as “Rs. in Million”. To keep figures comparable, the totals are converted here to INR crore (1 crore = 10 million), while retaining the same underlying amounts.

Why these dates matter for shareholders

For investors focused on dividend capture, the ex-date and record date are the crucial checkpoints. With July 24, 2026 serving as both dates, the settlement rule becomes central to eligibility. Investors who bought on July 24, 2026 would not qualify, based on the T+1 framework referenced in the update.

For long-term shareholders, the key operational steps are completing KYC and tax documentation by August 13, 2026 and ensuring bank mandates are correctly linked. For shareholders who want to participate in corporate governance, the cut-off date for voting rights and the remote e-voting window define when voting access is determined and when votes can be cast.

Conclusion

Info Edge’s proposed FY26 final dividend of ₹3.60 per share, declared on May 22, 2026, will be placed before shareholders at the 31st AGM on August 25, 2026. Eligibility hinges on the July 24, 2026 ex-date and record date, while the company has guided that payment, if approved, will be made on or after September 2, 2026.
