However, in addition to this just like Dividends...
Interim dividend is to be paid within 30 days of declaration. Since the provisions applicable to dividend apply to interim dividend also, the interim dividend becomes debt due once it is declared.
Thus, interim dividend can be revoked under the same circumstances where dividend can be revoked.
