Understanding the Record Date

वरील सर्व कृतींसाठी—मग तो लाभांश असो, बोनस इश्यू असो किंवा बायबॅक असो—गुंतवणूकदारांनी निर्दिष्ट केलेल्या "रेकॉर्ड डेट" रोजी त्यांच्या डिमॅट खात्यांमध्ये आवश्यक संख्येतील शेअर्स असणे आवश्यक आहे. "एक्स-रेकॉर्ड डेट" असण्याचा अर्थ असा आहे की, जर तुम्ही या तारखेला किंवा त्यानंतर स्टॉक खरेदी केला, तर तुम्ही आगामी कॉर्पोरेट लाभासाठी पात्र ठरणार नाही.

महत्त्वाचे मुद्दे

  • उच्च-मूल्य लाभांश: एशियन पेंट्स (₹२३) आणि सुप्रीम इंडस्ट्रीज (₹२५) हे या आठवड्यातील प्रति शेअर सर्वाधिक लाभांश देणाऱ्यांपैकी आहेत.
  • बोनस आणि बायबॅक: बुधवारी ZF कमर्शियलचा ५:१ बोनस इश्यू आणि बजाज ऑटोचा ₹५,६३३ कोटींचा बायबॅक याकडे लक्ष द्या.
  • ब्लू-चिप हालचाली: LIC, HUL आणि इंडसइंड बँक यांसारख्या मोठ्या कंपन्या या आठवड्यात कॉर्पोरेट कृतींसाठी नियोजित आहेत.
