Dividend Record Date Alert: Last Chance For 54 Stocks
Many companies are preparing to pay dividends to their shareholders.
A dividend is money a company gives to people who own its shares.
These companies chose September 21, 2026, as the record date.
The record date is used to decide which investors qualify for payment.
Since trades take one business day to settle, investors generally needed to buy the shares by September 18.
Maharashtra Scooters announced the largest payment in the listed group, at ₹160 per share.
Bajaj Holdings & Investment announced ₹65 per share, and Southern Gas announced ₹60.
The article says 54 companies in one place but refers to 55 stocks elsewhere.
Fifty-four companies reportedly set Monday, September 21, 2026, as the dividend record date, while another reference calls the list 55 stocks.
Because Indian markets use T+1 settlement, Friday, September 18, was effectively the last purchase day for dividend eligibility.
Maharashtra Scooters announced the highest listed payout at ₹160 per share.
Bajaj Holdings & Investment announced ₹65 per share, while Southern Gas announced ₹60 per share.
Other companies in focus included Dixon Technologies, Container Corporation of India, Kajaria Ceramics, Vedant Fashions and Monte Carlo Fashions.
