Infosys shares with Akshata

Infosys price dropped so much
Heavy selling of IT stocks was witnessed in the Indian stock market on Monday. Especially Infosys had to suffer huge losses. On Monday, the share price of Infosys declined by 9.4 per cent.

Dividend will earn such
Infosys released the March 2023 quarter results on Thursday last week. Along with this, the company had announced a final dividend of Rs 17.50 per share to its shareholders for the financial year 2022-23. Akshata Murthy holds 3.89 crore shares equivalent to 1.07 per cent of the total paid up capital of Infosys. Due to this, he is going to earn more than Rs 68 crore in one go from the dividend of the company.

Property has become the cause of disputes
Let us tell you that due to the immense wealth of wife Akshata, British PM Sunak is often on the target of critics. This controversy started at the time of his candidature for the post of Prime Minister. Then such information came to light that Akshata has non-domicile status and due to this she does not pay tax in UK on the income earned in other countries. After the controversy, Akshata started paying tax on such earnings in Britain. Although she said that earlier also she was not breaking any law.
Sunak has paid this much tax
At the same time, Rishi Sunak had given information about his financial affairs and earnings last month. It was then revealed that Sunak has paid more than 1 million pounds i.e. 10 crore rupees in tax during the last three years. Shares are their main source of income. His earnings from shares and capital gains are more than the salary he gets for the post of Prime Minister.
