LIC, Asian Paints, and HUL: 35 Stocks Set for Dividends and Bonus Issues

A significant wave of corporate actions is hitting the Indian equity markets this week, with 35 companies scheduled to turn ex-record date. From massive dividend payouts by blue-chip giants like Asian Paints to a major share buyback by Bajaj Auto, investors must ensure their holdings are in place to qualify.

Mid-Week Dividend Heavyweights: Asian Paints and HUL Lead

Tuesday, June 23, stands out as a major day for income-seeking investors, with 11 stocks turning ex-record date for dividends. Asian Paints leads the pack with a substantial final dividend of ₹23 per share. Following closely is consumer goods giant Hindustan Unilever (HUL), which will distribute ₹22 per share.

Other notable dividend payers on Tuesday include Tata Power (₹2.5 per share), Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers (₹5 per share), and Dalmia Bharat (₹5 per share).

In a major move for large-cap investors, Wednesday is also the record date for Bajaj Auto’s ₹5,633 crore share buyback.
