ITC Dividend 2026 Record Date Announced: ₹6.50 Interim Payout

ITC Dividend 2026 Record Date

The ITC dividend 2026 record date for the latest interim dividend has been fixed as Wednesday, 4 February 2026. Shareholders whose names appear on the company’s register or in their demat accounts on this date will be eligible to receive the interim dividend. In plain terms, anyone trying to “capture” this ITC dividend needs to own the shares before the ex‑date so that they show up in holdings on 4 February; missing it by a day can be surprisingly annoying, especially for long‑time dividend hunters.

The record date decision came along with ITC’s Q3 FY26 results, when the board wrapped up a long meeting and then quietly dropped the dividend update in the exchange filing. For a steady compounder like ITC, these interim payouts have almost become a ritual: results, commentary, and then a familiar cash reward.

ITC Dividend Details

ITC has declared an interim dividend of ₹6.50 per share for the financial year ending 31 March 2026. Here’s a simple snapshot of the key numbers:

According to the exchange filing and media reports, the interim dividend will be paid to eligible members between 26 February 2026 and 28 February 2026. Some brokers even send reminder notifications around this period, but many retail investors still like to keep a small handwritten note: “ITC dividend late Feb.” It is old‑school, but it works.

This ₹6.50 interim dividend sits on top of ITC’s already strong dividend history in FY25; for instance, the company distributed a total of ₹14.35 per share, combining interim and final payouts. For income‑focused portfolios, that kind of reliability often matters just as much as daily price moves.

About ITC 

ITC Limited is one of India’s most diversified conglomerates, with interests spanning FMCG (foods, personal care, cigarettes), hotels, paperboards and packaging, agri‑business and information technology. The company has built a reputation as a cash‑generating giant, particularly through its cigarettes and FMCG segments, which in turn support consistent dividends year after year.

Over the last decade, ITC has steadily pushed deeper into branded packaged foods, snacks, personal care, and other consumer categories, trying to reduce dependence on a single segment while still enjoying its legacy strengths.

For many Indian investors, ITC is almost a “default” long‑term holding, the kind passed down in family demat accounts, where the combination of stability, strong cash flows, and regular dividends makes the stock feel less like a trading bet and more like a patient, income‑friendly companion.
