The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set new prudential norms, capping dividend payouts at 75% of Profit After Tax for most banks. Effective from FY 2026-27, the guidelines link profit distribution to capital strength and regulatory compliance. Banks must meet specific conditions before declaring dividends, enhancing financial stability.
This move could impact investor sentiment and dividend strategies in the banking sector, as banks will need to prioritize capital adequacy alongside shareholder returns.
