Synopsis: Ten companies are set to go ex-dividend, offering payouts up to Rs. 150 per share. Investors must buy by Wednesday due to T+1 settlement and a Bakri Id market holiday on Thursday.
As many as 10 companies are scheduled to go ex-dividend for their dividends on Friday. This means that today effectively serves as the last opportunity for investors to buy these stocks if they want to qualify for the upcoming dividend distribution during this holiday-shortened trading week.
Under SEBI’s T+1 settlement cycle, shares purchased must be credited to the buyer’s demat account by the record date for the investor to be eligible for dividends. As a result, only those shareholders whose holdings are reflected in their demat accounts on Friday will receive the announced payouts.
Since the stock markets will remain closed on Thursday, May 28, for Bakri Id, the settlement timeline shifts accordingly. This makes Wednesday, May 27, the final effective trading day to purchase these stocks and ensure they are credited in time for eligibility on the record date.
