Memahami Tarikh Rekod untuk Pelabur
Bagi pelabur India, adalah sangat penting untuk membezakan antara tarikh ex (ex-date) dan tarikh rekod. Untuk layak menerima mana-mana dividen, saham bonus, atau pembelian balik (buyback) yang dinyatakan, seorang pelabur mesti memiliki saham tersebut dalam akaun demat mereka pada tarikh rekod yang ditetapkan oleh syarikat. Oleh kerana proses penyelesaian di India mengikut kitaran T+1, pelabur secara amnya perlu membeli saham tersebut sekurang-kurangnya satu hari bekerja sebelum tarikh ex-dividen untuk memastikan mereka terdaftar dalam rekod syarikat menjelang tarikh rekod.
