Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around dividend payments for preference shares. While it's not always mandatory to pay preference dividends, even if profits exist, companies must pay preference shareholders before distributing any dividends to equity shareholders. If a company chooses not to pay preference dividends, it cannot pay equity dividends either.

No it is not compulsory to pay any dividend to Preference shareholders in case, there is Profit but company does not want to pay any dividend. But if company wishes to pay dividend to Equity shareholders it can do so only after paying dividend to Preference shareholders. ... Equity shareholders are owners of the Company.

RESPECTED SIR,

IN CASE OF FIXED % PREFERENCE SAHRE THEN CAN IT BECOME MANDATORY TO PAY DIVIDEND AT PRE DETERMINED DIVIDEND RATE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2021 2022 FOR PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY
