In case of cumulative preference shares, the dividend is payable at the end of tenure along with the amount of redemption of shares.

Thank you for your reply. Also kindly inform us which Section specify that Preference Dividend shall be paid at the end of tenure along with redemption.
Please also inform the meaning of "Tenure". Is it means end of each accounting year or month of redemption of Preference Share.

Cumulative preference shares mean preference shares on which dividend is being accumulated and shall be paid at the time of redemption.
Tenure here means the total period for which the preference shares have been issued and not each financial year.

Thanks for your reply.
Kindly clarify the following to me:
1) If Cummulative Pref Share tenure is 6 years, then in such case whether Pref dividend shall be accumulated for 6 years and then paid along with redemption.
2) Is it necessary that at every AGM Pref dividend should be declared or shall the Pref dividend be declared at the 6th year before redemption and thereafter make payment for both Pref Dividend and redemption.
