Kotak Mahindra Bank Board to Consider Share Split Today on Nov 21

Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited has notified the exchanges that its Board of Directors will meet on Friday, November 21, 2025, to consider a proposal for sub-division of its equity shares. The bank currently has shares of face value ₹5 each, fully paid-up, and the exact split ratio will be decided by the Board. 

Proposal for Equity Share Split

The upcoming meeting will evaluate the restructuring of the share capital through sub-division of existing equity shares. If approved, this corporate action will reduce the face value of shares proportionally while increasing the number of outstanding shares, without altering the company’s overall market capitalisation. 

Grant of Employee Stock Options

Separately, the bank’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee granted 14,200 Employee Stock Options on November 18, 2025, under Series 9 of the Kotak Mahindra Equity Option Scheme 2023. The ESOPs will vest in four equal tranches of 25% each on November 30, 2026, June 30, 2027, June 30, 2028 and June 30, 2029. Employees can exercise their options one year after each vesting date. Each option entitles the holder to one equity share of face value ₹5.

Dividend and Bonus History

Kotak Mahindra Bank last issued a bonus in July 2015 in a 1:1 ratio. The bank also declared final dividends of ₹2.50 in July 2025 and ₹2 in July 2024.
