What the board decided
Coal India Limited told the exchanges that its Board of Directors, at a meeting held on 27 July 2026, declared an interim dividend for the financial year 2026-27, as recommended by the company's Audit Committee. The dividend is set on equity shares of ₹10 face value. The board meeting ran from 14:00 to 17:15 hrs, per the filing.
Who qualifies, and when it pays
Eligibility turns on the record date: the company fixed Friday, 31 July 2026 to determine which shareholders receive the payout. Those on the register as of that date are entitled. Payment will be made on or before 25 August 2026.
Electronic-only payment
Following SEBI's (LODR) (Fifth Amendment) Regulations, 2025 dated 18 November 2025, which omitted the first and second proviso to Regulation 12, the dividend will be paid only through RBI-approved electronic modes. No physical instruments — warrants, cheques or demand drafts — will be dispatched. The company asked shareholders to update KYC details in their demat accounts so funds transfer directly to their bank accounts.
