Definition: Private Placement in lay man’s language is making an offer of securities to select group of persons and not to existing shareholder’s.
With the provision of additional 10% tax to be imposed on the investor on receipt dividend income, the Indian market is witnessing a rush to declare interim dividends before the amendment comes to life, i.e. from April 01, 2016. Accordingly the companies need to adequately arrange for the declaration and payment of interim dividend before the deadline of March 31, 2016.
