Understanding Dividend Eligibility
To be eligible for dividends, investors should note the record date that determines shareholder eligibility. Under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, shares purchased on the record date itself will not qualify for the dividend payment. The ex-dividend date, which precedes the record date, is when the share price adjusts to reflect the upcoming payout.
