Ahead of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled to be held on September 14, Tata Group released its report for 2020-21 which showed key information related to financial performance of the group, remuneration of top management personnel and its plans for the 103rd AGM.

The annual report showed that Tata Sons’ consolidated net profit rose to ₹19,397 crore from ₹10,916 crore in 2019-20, whereas its standalone profit after tax surged to ₹6,511.63 crore. Its revenue from operations plunged over 60% to ₹9,460.24 crore during financial year 2021 as compared to ₹24,770.46 crore in the year-ago period. Dividend income was higher in the previous year mainly on account of special dividend received from a subsidiary, also helped by TCS share buyback.

More interestingly, the report showed the remuneration of Tata Sons' Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Executive Director which has increased from ₹15.85 crore (last drawn) to ₹21.45 crore (sought to be paid), making him among the highest paid top executives in the conglomerate.
