権利確定日の理解

前述のすべての銘柄において、「権利確定日（record date）」とは、配当金、ボーナス株、または自社株買いへの参加資格を持つ株主を決定するために企業が設定する期限のことです。受給資格を得るには、投資家の氏名がこの特定の日に企業の株主名簿に記載されている必要があります。インドではT+1の決済サイクルが採用されているため、保有分が期限内に処理されるよう、投資家は理想的には権利落ち日（ex-date）の少なくとも1営業日前までに購入を完了させておくべきです。

主なポイント

  • 主な配当: Asian Paints (₹23) と Supreme Industries (₹25) は、今週の最高配当銘柄の一つです。
  • 多様な施策: 今週は、現金配当、ZF Commercial による 5:1 のボーナス株発行、および Bajaj Auto による 5,633 億ルピーの自社株買いなど、さまざまな施策が行われます。
  • 受給資格のルール: コーポレート・ベネフィットを受けるには、投資家は権利落ち日（ex-record date）より前に、デマット口座（demat account）で株式を保有している必要があります。
