How are Indian firms paying up to 900% dividends despite posting losses in FY25?
At least 22 companies, with a net standalone loss in FY25, have declared dividend payouts, Moneycontrol reported. EID Parry announced a 900% dividend, equalling ₹9/share on ₹1 face value, while Edelweiss Financial proposed a 150% dividend, or ₹1.50/share. Though India allows dividends to be paid only from current year profit, it permits distributions from accumulated earnings, experts said.
