A significant wave of corporate actions is hitting the Indian equity markets this week, with 35 companies scheduled to turn ex-record date. From heavyweights like LIC and HUL to major buybacks by Bajaj Auto, investors must ensure they hold the necessary shares in their demat accounts to qualify for these benefits.

Tuesday Delivers High Dividend Payouts

Tuesday is set to be a major day for dividend seekers, with 11 stocks turning ex-record date. Consumer goods giant Asian Paints leads the pack with a substantial final dividend of ₹23 per share. Following closely is Hindustan Unilever (HUL), which will distribute ₹22 per share to its eligible shareholders.

Mid-Week Bonus Issues and Bajaj Auto Buyback

Wednesday marks a crucial window for different types of corporate actions. ZF Commercial Vehicle Control Systems India has fixed this day for its 5:1 bonus issue, providing a significant boost to existing shareholders.

Additionally, Wednesday is the decisive record date for Bajaj Auto’s massive ₹5,633 crore share buyback program. Investors looking to participate in this capital return scheme must meet the eligibility criteria by this date. Meanwhile, Wheels India and Shankar Buildpro will turn ex-dividend, with payouts of ₹9.14 and ₹5 per share, respectively.

Thursday: LIC and IndusInd Bank Lead the Charge

The momentum continues into Thursday, featuring several blue-chip companies. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is scheduled to pay a final dividend of ₹10 per share, while IndusInd Bank will distribute ₹1.5 per share.

The highest dividend payout on Thursday comes from Supreme Industries, which is offering ₹25 per share. Other significant announcements for Thursday include:

  • Care Ratings: ₹14 per share
  • Nippon Life India AMC: ₹12.5 per share
  • Alkyl Amines Chemicals: ₹10 per share
  • Dr Lal Pathlabs: ₹4 per share

Memahami Record Date

Untuk semua saham yang disebutkan sebelumnya, "record date" adalah tenggat waktu yang ditetapkan oleh perusahaan untuk menentukan pemegang saham mana yang berhak menerima dividen, saham bonus, atau berpartisipasi dalam buyback. Agar memenuhi syarat, nama investor harus tercantum dalam daftar anggota perusahaan pada tanggal spesifik tersebut. Karena siklus penyelesaian T+1 di India, investor idealnya harus menyelesaikan pembelian mereka setidaknya satu hari kerja sebelum ex-date untuk memastikan kepemilikan mereka diproses tepat waktu.

Poin-Poin Penting

  • Pembayaran Besar: Asian Paints (₹23) dan Supreme Industries (₹25) termasuk di antara pembayar dividen tertinggi minggu ini.
  • Berbagai Aksi: Minggu ini menampilkan campuran dividen tunai, penerbitan bonus 5:1 oleh ZF Commercial, dan buyback senilai ₹5.633 crore oleh Bajaj Auto.
  • Aturan Kelayakan: Investor harus memiliki saham tersebut di akun demat mereka sebelum ex-record date untuk memenuhi syarat mendapatkan manfaat korporasi apa pun.
