MRF Share Price in Focus on July 18 as Stock Trades Ex-Dividend: Are You Eligible?

Shares of MRF Ltd will be in focus on July 18, 2025, as the stock is set to trade ex-dividend on that day. The company has announced a final dividend of ₹229 per share for FY25. Investors who hold the stock as of the record date will be eligible to receive this dividend. Here's a closer look at what this means for shareholders.

MRF ₹229 Final Dividend Details

MRF Ltd, India’s leading tyre manufacturer, has declared a final dividend of ₹229 per share, and the stock will trade ex-dividend on July 18, 2025. The record date for determining eligible shareholders is also July 18, as per BSE data.

This dividend payout reflects the company’s strong performance and shareholder return strategy. The final dividend is in line with MRF’s history of rewarding investors through consistent payouts.

What Is a Record Date and Why It Matters?

The record date is the cut-off set by a company to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend. In this case, July 18, 2025, is both the ex-dividend and record date for MRF.

To be eligible, investors must own shares before the ex-dividend date, i.e., by July 17, 2025. If you purchase MRF shares on or after July 18, you will not receive the declared dividend. This is because trades on stock exchanges in India follow a T+1 settlement cycle, meaning ownership is recorded a day after the trade.

How to Check MRF Dividend Credit?

Unlike bonus shares, which are credited to your Demat account, cash dividends are credited directly to your linked bank account via NEFT or ECS. Investors should look for the dividend credit in their bank, not their trading platform or Demat holdings.

In most cases, the dividend reflects in your bank account within 1–2 working days from the payment date, depending on the bank and processing time.

Conclusion

As MRF trades ex-dividend on July 18, only those who hold shares on July 17 (as per T+1 settlement) will qualify for the ₹229 dividend. The record and payment dates are aligned, and shareholders can expect credit directly to their bank accounts shortly thereafter. With a strong payout track record, MRF continues to draw long-term investor interest.
