The amount has not been announced; the latest payouts were Rs 12 for Q1 FY27 and Rs 11 for the second interim dividend last year. Under T+1 settlement the ex-dividend date is the same as the record date, so shares must be bought by 13 October to be eligible. The results come after market hours, with the investor call at 7 pm IST, and the payment date is not yet announced, although last year&#8217;s second interim dividend was paid on 4 November.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>TCS dividend news is back in focus because Tata Consultancy Services will announce its Q2 FY27 results on Thursday, 8 October, and its board meeting will consider a second interim dividend. The company has already fixed Wednesday, 14 October as the record date, and TCS shares rose on Monday ahead of the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>If you are searching for the TCS record date, the TCS Q2 results date and time and the TCS dividend history, this article covers the key dates, the ex-dividend date and T+1 rule, the likely amount of Rs 11 to Rs 12, payment date, eligibility and tax documents, the full payout history including the special dividend and final dividend, the yield and the Q2 results preview.
