Dividend amounts and frequency have varied annually, with multiple announcements in close succession. Certain months, such as February, March, and August, feature prominently across years. The company’s ability to declare dividends is reflected in recurring disbursements since 2006, with some years showing as many as three or more interim payouts.

How to Check & Claim Dividends?

  • Navigate to the official webpage of the RTA (Registrar and Transfer Agent) for Sun TV Network Ltd.

  • Examine payment status via CDSL or NSDL.

  • Regularly inspect Form 26AS for TDS credit changes.

Shareholders are required to update their PAN and tax exemption paperwork before the record date. Refunds for excess TDS can be requested at ITR filing time.

Conclusion & Investment Takeaways

Sun TV Network Ltd has demonstrated operational consistency through a diversified media portfolio spanning television, OTT, radio, and sports franchises. Its dividend track record indicates regular interim payouts over multiple financial years. The company's revenue mix—comprising advertising, subscriptions, and franchise income—alongside significant investments and capital expenditure, reflects a stable financial approach. However, advertising revenue remains sensitive to economic cycles and competition from digital and sports content, which may influence near-term earnings visibility.
