Meeting the street expectation, Coal India (CIL) board yesterday approved a special dividend for the current financial year, which would fetch Rs 16485.71 crore to government exchequer and help meet its disinvestment target of Rs 40,000 crore.

The CIL board, which met late Tuesday, approved highest ever interim dividend of Rs 29 per share of face value of Rs 10.

Beside, government would also get dividend distribution tax of Rs 3,113.05 crore from CIL and its subsidiaries. Thus government would get Rs 19,598.76 crore from CIL and its subsidiaries by way of dividend and its tax.
