How to Qualify for Dividend Payouts
To receive dividends, investors must own the stock before the ex-dividend date. Only those whose shares are reflected in their Demat account on the record date will be eligible for the payout. Purchases made on or after the ex-date will not qualify for the dividend.
Bonus Issues and Stock Splits
As of now, no stock splits or bonus issues are scheduled for the week, according to data available on the BSE website.
Summary:
This week’s dividend calendar features several blue-chip and mid-cap companies declaring interim payouts, led by Hindustan Unilever, Mazagon Dock, and Dr. Lal PathLabs. Investors seeking dividend income should align their trading timelines with ex-dividend and record dates to ensure eligibility.
