Interim Dividend: Companies can pay dividend at the end of financial year which is called final dividend but sometimes companies declare two dividends one in the middle of the financial years that dividend is called interim dividend and then one at the end of the financial year which is called final dividend.
Interim dividends are the dividend payments a company makes before the Annual General Meeting and final financial statements.
An interim dividend is declared and paid by the directors subject to the members approval (at the AGM after the accounts have been laid before the members or members written resolution). A final dividend is a dividend approved by the members either in general meeting or by writen resolution. I think these used to be shown as proposed dividends before the latest FRS on events after the balance sheet date or final dividend paid if approved by the members in the year. I believe an interim dividend should be paid in cash but that a final dividend as it is approved by the members could be credited to a directors loan account at the date of approval rather than paid in cash
Most companies will pay twice a year, an interim dividend followed by a final dividend, some companies pay four times a year.
final dividend is paid after close of financial year.interim dividends are paid during financial year depending upon company financial health & policies.

Proposed dividend refers to the amount expected to be paid to shareholders. Final dividend is the official dividend paid to shareholders at the end of a financial year.

Sure! The difference between an interim is that an interim is kinda like a progress report in the middle of every quarter. A final is at the end of each semester. Huge difference.
Generally, interim maintenance is ordered by a court during a proceeding and continues only until the final hearing when the final court orders are entered with the decree. Therefore, generally, if a woman files for interim maintenance she is in the process of a divorce action.
Dividend history is important especially for stock investing. Without knowing the dividend history for a company, you will never know if the company will be reliable to pay the dividend every quarter.
An interim order is a temporary decision made by the court to address urgent matters before a final decision is reached. An interlocutory order is a ruling that deals with procedural issues during the course of a case without finally resolving the main dispute. Interim orders are typically broader in scope and duration compared to interlocutory orders.
