  1. Withholding tax on Dividend

In compliance with Section 150 read with Division I of Part III of the First Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, withholding tax on dividend income will be deducted for 'filer' and 'non-filer' shareholders at 15% and 30% respectively. A 'filer' is a taxpayer whose name appears in the Active Taxpayers List (ATL) issued by the FBR from time to time and a 'non-filer' is a person other than a filer. To enable the Company to withhold tax at 15% for filers, all members are advised to ensure that their names appear in the latest available ATL on FBR's website, otherwise tax on their cash dividend will be deducted at 30% for non-filers. Withholding tax exemption from the dividend income shall only be allowed if a copy of valid tax exemption certificate is made available to the Share Registrar / Transfer Agent CDC Share Registrar Services Limited (CDCSRSL), of the Company by the first day of book closure.

According to the clarification from the FBR, withholding tax in case of joint accounts will be determined separately based on the 'Filer/ Non-Filer' status of the principal member as well as the status of the joint holder(s) based on their shareholding proportions. Members that hold shares with joint shareholders are requested to provide the shareholding proportions of the principal member and the joint holder(s) in respect of shares held by them to our Share Registrar / Transfer Agent, CDC Share Registrar Services Limited (CDCSRSL), CDC House, 99-B, Block 'B', S.M.C.H.S., Main Shahra-e-Faisal, Karachi-74400 in writing. In case the required information is not provided to our Registrar it will be assumed that the shares are held in equal proportion by the principal member and the joint holder(s).


  1. Conversion of Physical Shares into the Book Entry Form

The SECP through its letter No. CSD/ED/Misc/2016- 639-640 dated March 26, 2021 has advised listed companies to adhere to provisions of Section 72 of the Companies Act, 2017 by replacing physical shares issued by them into book entry form.

Members having physical shareholding are encouraged to open CDC sub - account with any of the brokers or Investor Account directly with the CDC to convert their physical shares into scrip less form. This will facilitate them in many ways, including safe custody and sale of shares any time they want, as the trading of physical shares is not permitted as per existing regulations of the Pakistan Stock Exchange.

  1. Submission of the CNIC/NTN details (Mandatory)

In accordance with the notifications / directives of the SECP vide SRO 779(1)/2011 dated August 18, 2011 and SRO 83(1)/2012 dated July 5, 2012, dividend warrants should bear CNIC number of the registered member or the authorized person, except in case of minor(s) and corporate members. Accordingly, members who have not yet submitted copy of their valid CNIC or NTN (in case of corporate entities) are requested to submit the same to the Company's Shares Registrar. In case of non-compliance, the Company may withhold dispatch of dividend warrants under intimation to the regulator till such time they provide the valid copy of their CNIC / NTN (as the case may be) as per law.

  1. Provision of International Banking Account Number (IBAN Detail)
