Final Dividend Already Declared

In addition to the stock split and bonus share announcement, Bajaj Finance also declared a final dividend of ₹44 per share for the financial year 2024–25. This amounts to a 2,200% payout based on the share’s face value of ₹2. The record date for this dividend was set as May 30.
