Notice of Book Closure for 75% Interim Cash Dividend
We are pleased to inform our valued shareholders that the Board of Directors of Meezan Bank Ltd in its meeting held on April 23, 2026 has declared an Interim Cash Dividend of Rs. 7.50 per share
i.e. 75%.
To determine the above entitlement, the Share Transfer Books of Meezan Bank Ltd. will be closed from May 6, 2026 to May 7, 2026 (both days inclusive). Transfer requests received at the close of business on May 05, 2026 will be treated in time for the purpose of the above entitlement to the transferees.
The Government of Pakistan has made certain amendments in Section 150 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 whereby different rates are prescribed for deduction of withholding tax on the amount of dividend paid by the companies/banks. These rates are as per law.
To enable the Bank to make tax deduction on the amount of Cash Dividend, all the members whose names are not entered into Federal Board of Revenue (FBR)'s Active Tax-Payers List (ATL), despite the fact that they are tax return filers are advised to make sure that their names are entered into ATL, before the date of book closure for cash dividend, otherwise tax on their cash dividend will be deducted as non-filer.
All shareholders who hold shares jointly are requested to provide shareholding proportions of Principal shareholder and Joint-holder(s) in respect of shares held by them to our Share Registrar, in writing as follows:
Folio/ CDC No. | Total Shares | Principal Shareholder | Joint Shareholder(s) | ||
Name & CNIC No. | Shareholding Proportion (No. of Shares) | Name & CNIC No. | Shareholding Proportion (No. of Shares) | ||
The required information must reach our Share Registrar by the close of business (05:30 p.m.) on May 05, 2026 otherwise it will be assumed that the shares are equally held by Principal shareholder and Joint Holder(s) and tax will be deducted according to proportionate holding of each shareholder as clarified by the FBR vide its clarification letter No. 1(54) Exp/2014-132872-R dated September 25, 2014. Shareholders claiming tax exemption under clause 47(B) of Part IV of the Second Schedule of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 are requested to provide valid exemption certificate under section 159 (1) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 to our Shares Registrar (latest by May 05, 2026) as required vide FBR clarification letter No. 1(43)DG (WHT)/2008-Vol.II-66417-R dated May 12, 2015.
