Central Securities Depository Of IRAN

 

Introduction

The Dividend Distribution System (DDS) has been developed to obtain the equities dividends, interest of Mutual Funds, Sukuks, and Islamic treasury bills from the issuers and deposit them in the beneficiaries’ bank account.

DDS is an infrastructural system designed based on in-house technical know-how in a bid to streamline corporate actions by CSDI.

Previously, issuers could not check and verify the information (bank accounts, Identity information, etc.) with the authorities. On the other hand, shareholders, either, did not know the exact time of the dividend distribution. These led to the long and irregular process of dividend payments causing many problems for both issuers and shareholders. 

Therefore, this system was initiated by CSDI and was test-launched in June 2019.
