Dividend- not providing therefor if the amount is say < rs.5

Will it be possible not to provide any amount in respect of shares/shareholders, where the total dividend payable per shareholder amounts to Rs.5 or less; because the cost of service of shareholders in this respect will be much more than the dividend itself. This has to be viewed in respect of Nidhi companies, notified under section 620A of the Companies Act, 1956, where the majority of shareholders will be having just one equity share or just 10 equity shares of Rs.10 each.

Can the Articles be amended to contain similar provision?

No it cannot be done and neither there can be any such  provision in articles and if included it will be void.

I M Agree With Arun/Amit 

Dear Kannan,

 

Dividend is always payable on per share basis and not per shareholder basis.


And it is mandatory to declare dividend Rs. per share basis.
