TCS Declares ₹12 Interim Dividend Amid Share-Price Decline
Tata Consultancy Services, or TCS, announced it will pay shareholders another dividend of ₹12 for each eligible share.
A dividend is money a company pays to people who own its shares.
TCS had already announced a ₹12 dividend earlier in FY27, so the total announced so far is ₹24 per share.
Shareholders must be listed in the company’s records on October 14, 2026, to qualify.
TCS says it will pay the dividend on October 30.
The company also reported ₹13,844 crore in profit and ₹73,188 crore in revenue for the quarter ending in September.
Reports describe TCS as a regular dividend payer, but they give different figures for its dividend yield.
They also report that the share price has fallen by more than 35% in 2026.
Tata Consultancy Services declared a second FY27 interim dividend of ₹12 per ₹1-face-value share, following a ₹12 interim dividend in July.
October 14, 2026, is the record date, and eligible shareholders are scheduled to be paid on October 30.
The dividend brings TCS’s FY27 payout so far to ₹24 per share; annual payouts were ₹110 in FY26, ₹126 in FY25 and ₹73 in FY24.
Reports gave differing dividend-yield figures: 5.29% over the last year, 3.6% for 2026, and annual yields of 4.7% in FY26, 5.3% in FY25 and 3.1% in FY24.
TCS reported September-quarter net profit of ₹13,844 crore and revenue of ₹73,188 crore; reports also cited share-price declines of more than 35% in 2026.
