Difference between interim dividend and final dividend?
An interim dividend is declared and paid by the directors subject to the members approval (at the AGM after the accounts have been laid before the members or members written resolution). A final dividend is a dividend approved by the members either in general meeting or by writen resolution. I think these used to be shown as proposed dividends before the latest FRS on events after the balance sheet date or final dividend paid if approved by the members in the year. I believe an interim dividend should be paid in cash but that a final dividend as it is approved by the members could be credited to a directors loan account at the date of approval rather than paid in cash

What is Dividend?
Section 2(35) of the Companies Act, 2013 defines the word ‘Dividend’ as ‘including any interim dividend’. In easy terms, it can be defined as the portion of profits that are distributed by the Company amongst its shareholders. It can be paid to Equity shareholders as well as preference shareholders. If the dividend is declared in between a Financial Year or before Annual General Meeting (AGM) has been called, it shall be considered as an Interim Dividend. If the dividend is declared in the AGM, it shall be called the Final Dividend. In case the company has incurred losses during the current financial year up to the end of the quarter immediately preceding the date of declaration of interim dividend, the rate of interim dividend to be declared shall not be more than the average dividends declared by the company during the last 3 financial years.
