Dividend Alert: Last Chance to Buy HDFC Bank and 15 Other Stocks
Investors looking to capture immediate dividend payouts face a critical deadline today. A total of 16 companies, including blue-chip names like HDFC Bank and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, are set to turn ex-dividend this Friday, June 19.
Understanding the T+1 Settlement Deadline
Under SEBI’s current T+1 settlement cycle, timing is everything for dividend eligibility. To ensure shares are credited to a demat account by the record date, investors must complete their purchase at least one trading day prior. Consequently, today marks the final opportunity for shareholders to acquire these stocks and become eligible for a cumulative dividend payout worth approximately ₹248 per share across the listed companies.
Major Blue-Chip Dividend Payouts
Several heavyweights in the Indian market are leading this week's dividend cycle:
- HDFC Bank: The banking giant has recommended a final dividend of ₹13 per share (face value Re 1) for FY26. This brings the total dividend for the financial year to ₹15.50 per equity share. The bank maintains a notable dividend yield of 3.42%.
- Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV): The manufacturer of the Tata Harrier has recommended a final dividend of ₹3 per share for FY26, with payments expected on or before July 14.

- HDFC Life Insurance: The insurer has set Friday as the record date for a final dividend of ₹2.1 per share, scheduled to be paid on or after July 20.

- Sanofi Consumer Healthcare India: Leading the pack with the highest individual payout, Sanofi is offering a final dividend of ₹75 per share.
