Dividend Alert: Last Chance to Buy HDFC Bank and 15 Other Stocks
Investors looking to capture upcoming corporate payouts face a critical deadline today. A total of 16 stocks, including blue-chip giants like HDFC Bank and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, are set to turn ex-dividend on Friday, June 19, representing cumulative payouts worth nearly ₹248 per share.
Understanding the T+1 Settlement Deadline
Under SEBI’s current T+1 settlement cycle, timing is everything for dividend eligibility. To ensure that shares are credited to a demat account by the record date, investors must purchase the securities at least one trading day prior to the ex-date. Consequently, today serves as the final opportunity for retail and institutional investors to secure their eligibility for the scheduled dividend payments.
