LIC Dividend ₹12 per Share Record Date Due July 25; Last Day to Buy Shares for Eligibility Is Today

India’s largest insurer, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), has announced a final dividend of ₹12 per share for FY25. The stock is set to trade ex-dividend on Friday, July 25, 2025, meaning only those who own shares before this date will be eligible for the dividend payout.

LIC Dividend Payout: Key Details

According to exchange filings, LIC’s board has approved a final dividend of ₹12 per share for the financial year ending March 2025. The record date for determining eligible shareholders is July 25, 2025.

If an investor holds 1,000 shares, their gross dividend would be:

• Dividend per share: ₹12
• Shares held: 1,000
• Total payout: ₹12 × 1,000 = ₹12,000 (before taxes)

The actual amount credited may be subject to TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) as per prevailing tax laws.

Who Is Eligible for the LIC Dividend?

To be eligible for the final dividend, investors must have purchased LIC shares on or before July 24, 2025. Since the ex-dividend date is July 25, any purchases made on or after this date will not qualify for the dividend.

Shareholders whose names appear in LIC’s records as of the record date (July 25) will receive the declared dividend.

What Is a Record Date?

The record date is the cut-off date set by a company to determine which shareholders are entitled to receive a corporate benefit, such as a dividend. The ex-date is typically one trading day before the record date. For LIC both fall on July 25, 2025, so investors needed to complete their purchase by July 24.

Conclusion

LIC’s upcoming dividend highlights a key opportunity for shareholders ahead of the record date. Investors holding shares before the ex-dividend date may benefit from the ₹12 per share payout, subject to applicable taxes. As always, dividend decisions should be considered as part of a broader investment strategy, keeping individual financial goals and timelines in mind.
