What was filed
Tata Consultancy Services has told the exchanges that its Board of Directors will meet on Thursday, 8 October 2026. Under Regulation 29(1) of SEBI's Listing Regulations, the agenda covers approving the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and six-month period ending 30 September 2026, and considering the declaration of a second interim dividend to equity shareholders.
The record date and trading window
If a second interim dividend is declared, the filing says it will be paid to shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members or in depository records as beneficial owners as on Wednesday, 14 October 2026 — the record date fixed for the purpose. The company also noted that, under its insider trading code, the trading window remains closed from 23 September 2026 until 48 hours after the results are made public.
What is not yet known
This is an advance intimation, not a declaration. It confirms the meeting date, the results period and the record date, but the dividend amount is not stated and remains subject to the board's decision on 8 October. The phrase "if declared" appears in the filing itself.
