The Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) was enacted to consolidate and amend the Laws relating to companies. Out of 470 sections of the Act, 284 sections have been brought into force so far.

In common parlance Dividend means distribution of portion of profits available which is allocated to holder of shares of the Company on a particular date i.e. on record date. Companies Act, 2013 has not defined the term Dividend. However, Section 2(35) of the Act mention that dividend includes interim dividend.
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.
