Dividend Deadline Nears for Indian Stocks Ahead of Record Date
Many Indian companies are preparing to pay dividends to eligible shareholders.
A dividend is money a company gives to people who own its shares.
Nearly 57 companies have set September 23 as their record date.
Investors generally need to buy the shares early enough for the trade to settle.
Because India uses a next-business-day settlement system, September 22 is described as the last effective buying day.
Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation has the largest dividend listed in the report, at Rs.
9.50 per share.
Other companies named include Talbros Engineering, Titagarh Rail Systems and AGI Infra.
The broader Indian stock market may be volatile, but one brokerage said the Nifty 50 chart looked positive.
Shares of nearly 57 Indian companies are expected to remain in focus ahead of their September 23 dividend record date.
Under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, September 22 is effectively the last buying date for eligibility.
Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation has announced the highest listed payout at Rs. 9.50 per share.
Talbros Engineering and Tyche Industries have announced dividends of Rs. 3 and Rs. 3.50 per share, respectively.
The Nifty 50 may remain volatile, although Bajaj Broking said its chart showed a bullish higher-high and higher-low pattern.
