Wipro revises capital allocation policy
1 2 3 Bengaluru: Effective this fiscal, Wipro has revised its capital allocation policy. The company expects to return 70% or more of the net income cumulatively over a three-year period through a combination of dividends, special dividends, or share buyback. Its capital allocation policy targeted a minimum payout of 45%–50% of net income for a period of the trailing three years. "Effective FY26, we have revised our minimum committed payout to 70% of net income, calculated cumulatively over three years. A 1:1 bonus issue in Q2 and an interim dividend of Rs 6 per share in Q3 underscore our commitment to enhanced shareholder returns," Wipro chairman Rishad Premji wrote in the letter to shareholders published in the 2024-25 annual report. TOI reported that Premji's remuneration rose by 109% to $1.6 million during the 2024-25 fiscal year, according to a US regulatory filing. The considerable increase stemmed primarily from a rise in commission payments. Premji is entitled to a commission at the rate of 0.35% on the incremental net profit of the company over the previous fiscal year. Wipro saw a decrease of 0.6% in the aggregate remuneration of employees at Wipro, as shown in the firm's annual report. Wipro added a meagre 732 during the year with a heavy net reduction of 1,157 in the December quarter. "The aggregate remuneration of employees excluding whole-time directors decreased by 0.6% over the previous financial year, attributed to a decrease in headcount," it said. The median remuneration of employees (MRE) excluding whole-time directors was Rs 9.7 lakh and Rs 9.8 lakh in the financial year 2024-25 and 2023-24 respectively. The CEO pay ratio to employees stands at 548:1. Premji said that Wipro turns 80 in December, a rare milestone in any industry. "For nearly 50 years, we have been in the technology business—navigating disruption through continuous innovation, deep client trust, an adaptable culture, and a long-term mindset," he said. On the roadmap ahead, Premji said the external environment may remain uncertain. "But durable businesses are built in cycles like these. We have used this time wisely—investing in our people, deepening client impact, and staying anchored in purpose. Wipro's 80-year journey has never been about short bursts of success. It's about long-term stewardship, continuous reinvention, and doing business the right way."

Technical sanction pending, Thanal project faces delay
T'puram: The ambitious Thanal Housing Project, aimed at rehabilitating residents of the decades-old Vikalanga Colony at Muttathara, faces a prolonged delay as it awaits crucial technical sanction from the local self-govt department (LSGD). Despite groundwork preparation and the selection of a contractor, construction is yet to begin. Technical sanction for the revised project estimate, which exceeds Rs 2.5 crore, has been delayed. According to regulations, any project costing more than Rs 2.5 crore requires mandatory approval from LSGD's chief engineer. Though the city corporation submitted its proposal earlier this year, the inclusion of the outdated 2018 Delhi Schedule of Rates (DSR) prompted the need for revisions. The project's total cost is Rs 20 crore. "With the DSR revised this year, the project estimate must be updated accordingly. We are in the process of revising the proposal and will resubmit it shortly," a senior corporation official told TOI. "This is a critical step to ensure cost accuracy and avoid hurdles during execution," the official said. To expedite the process, mayor Arya Rajendran met with the LSGD chief engineer last week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Pelajari Undo Sources said the engineer assured the mayor that the sanction would be granted within 10 days. Despite awarding the construction contract to Uralungal Labour Contract Co-operative Society (ULCCS) last year, the project has not seen any major activity on site. ULCCS representatives said foundation work can begin once technical sanction is received. "The cost is likely to increase slightly with the updated DSR," said a ULCCS official. Currently, 99 families, many of whom are persons with disabilities, reside in Vikalanga Colony in extremely challenging conditions. An anganwadi also operates in the area, highlighting the urgent need for new housing infrastructure. The colony, established nearly 48 years ago, earned its name because its population primarily comprised individuals with disabilities. The Thanal project plans to construct a two-storey residential complex across two acres originally designated for rehabilitating fishermen affected by sea erosion. Each of the 136 apartments will have 550 sq ft of living space, with four houses in each block. Initially, the project was designed as a three-storey structure, but height restrictions imposed by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) forced the civic body to downscale it. A senior corporation official, however, stated: "This project remains a top priority for the corporation. We are pushing for quick approval and expect construction to begin soon after sanction is received," he said. Once started, the project is expected to be completed within 18 months. Thanal project is an initiative aimed at providing housing to vulnerable communities, specifically flood victims and fishermen affected by sea erosion. The state govt incorporated Vikalanga Colony into it.

Eden Gardens isn't public place, CAB not liable to pay ad tax to KMC: HC
1 2 Kolkata: Eden Gardens cannot be considered a public place, Calcutta High Court has ruled, upholding a single judge's order that Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) is not liable to pay advertisement tax of over Rs 51 lakh to Kolkata Municipal Corporation for advertisements put up inside the stadium during the 1996 World Cup. "It is not the dimension of a place or the number of people that visit a particular place that would determine the nature of a place as 'private or public'. The only criterion must be whether or not members of public have an unrestricted right of access to that place. Applying this test, Eden Gardens Stadium cannot be held to be a public place," a division bench of justices Arijit Banerjee and Kausik Chanda held in the June 19 order. Dwelling on what constitutes a public place — KMC Act does not have a definition for it — the bench clarified that it meant any place that was open to people. "Any member of the public must have access to that place without any restriction. Nobody's permission should be required for visiting such a place… For example, the Maidan in Kolkata is undisputedly a public place. The riverside is also a public place. Any member of the public has absolute, unconditional, and unrestricted access to such places at any time," the bench explained. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Undo Eden Gardens had hosted the 1996 World Cup inaugural match and a semi-final on Feb 11 and March 13. KMC had issued a demand note to CAB for Rs 51,18,450 as tax on ads put up inside and outside the stadium. CAB moved HC and won the case in 2015, but KMC challenged the single judge order. The division bench, however, was not keen on interfering with the single-bench order. It was not happy with the two days' notice given to CAB to reply to the demand note and reprimanded KMC for initiating criminal proceedings without giving CAB a hearing. The bench also noted that the notice sent by KMC did not have a bill breakdown. It also considered Article 285 of the Constitution that exempts Union property from state taxation — CAB enjoys a lease of the Eden Gardens ground, which is owned by the defence ministry. The division bench held, "CAB is the lessee of the property where the stadium is situated… Take, for example, that a rich person owns a private stadium which can accommodate 200,000 people. He organises sports activities in the stadium and sells tickets which interested spectators can purchase for watching the activities inside the stadium. On a particular day, games are played before a packed stadium. Hoardings are put up by brand owners inside the stadium which are visible only to people who are inside the stadium. Would KMC be entitled to impose advertisement tax in respect of the same? We think not. Although 200,000 spectators may be viewing the advertisements, the private stadium is not a public place. The owner of the stadium will be entitled to deny entry to an interested person even if he offers to pay for a ticket."
