How Ex-Dividend Dates Work: Step-by-Step

Understand the 4-phase corporate action settlement cycle under SEBI T+1 settlement.

1

Board Declaration

Company board approves dividend amount, ex-date, and record date in official exchange filings.

2

Cum-Dividend Day

Last day to buy shares. You must hold the stock at market close to be eligible for payout.

3

Ex-Dividend Date

Stock trades without dividend entitlement. Share price mechanically adjusts downward by payout amount.

4

Record & Payment

Registrar verifies demat beneficiaries on record date, and funds are credited directly to bank account.

Major Corporate Action Categories

Key corporate events that influence share prices, liquidity, and investor yields.

Cash Dividends

Yield

Direct cash distribution of corporate earnings deposited into investor bank accounts linked with Demat.

Bonus Issues

Shares

Free additional shares issued to existing holders capitalized from corporate reserves without additional cost.

Stock Splits

Liquidity

Reduction in nominal face value to enhance market affordability and trading volume for retail investors.

Board Results

Earnings

Quarterly financial performance scorecards disclosing revenue, operating margins, and net profit growth.

Dividend Capture Strategy Tip: When trading ex-dividend dates, consider whether post-dividend stock price recovery historically takes days or weeks in that specific stock. High-quality dividend growers frequently recover the ex-dividend gap quickly in steady market environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ex-dividend date?
The ex-dividend date is the investment cutoff. You must own the shares before this date to receive the declared dividend payout. If you buy on or after the ex-date, you do not receive the dividend. The stock price typically adjusts downward by the dividend amount on the ex-date opening.
Ex-dividend date vs Record date: what is the difference?
The ex-dividend date is the exchange trading cutoff, while the record date is the company's internal register cutoff. Under India's T+1 settlement cycle, the ex-date is typically one business day prior to the record date.
Can I sell on the ex-date and still receive the dividend?
Yes. If you owned the shares at the close of trading on the day before the ex-date, you are legally entitled to the dividend even if you sell the shares on the ex-date itself.
What is a bonus issue and how does it work?
A bonus issue provides free additional shares to existing shareholders in a fixed ratio (e.g., 1:1 or 2:1) out of the company's reserves. While your total share count multiplies, the stock price adjusts proportionately, keeping total portfolio value unchanged on day one.
What is the difference between a stock split and a bonus issue?
A stock split divides existing shares into smaller units by lowering the face value (e.g., ₹10 face value split into ₹1), thereby improving market liquidity. A bonus issue issues new shares without changing the face value of the stock.
