Is it illegal to pay dividends every month because the company is short of funds and invests hundreds of thousands?

It is not illegal, but it is necessary to follow the relevant procedures.

Shareholders' right to share dividends in the company is conditional: first, there are profits available for distribution; Second, the company has fulfilled its legal obligations, such as paying taxes and withdrawing provident fund; Third, by the resolution of the shareholders (shareholders' meeting), the company's dividend is a major event of the company, which can only be implemented after it is approved by shareholders representing more than two-thirds of the voting rights. So if you don't meet the above legal conditions, you can't pay dividends.

Company dividend is a dividend paid to investors by a joint-stock company every year according to a certain proportion of its share in profits. It is the return on investment of listed companies to shareholders. Dividend is a way to distribute the current year's income to shareholders after withdrawing statutory provident fund, public welfare fund and other items according to regulations. Usually, after receiving dividends, shareholders will continue to invest in the enterprise to realize compound interest.
