Bharat Dynamics, Power Grid, and Concor Turning Record-Date Today, Feb 10; Dividends Up to ₹4.50 Announced

Many listed companies are in focus as they turn ex-dividend or announce other corporate actions. Investors who held these shares before the ex-date become eligible to receive the declared dividend or benefit from the announced action. For these companies, the record date and ex-date fall on the same day.

The combined dividend payout from all such companies is close to ₹16.90 per share. Among them, Bharat Dynamics has announced the highest dividend of ₹4.50 per share, while Prithvi Exchange has declared the lowest dividend of ₹1.50 per share.

Understanding Record Date and Ex-Date

The record date is the cut-off day used by a company to identify shareholders who will receive the dividend. If an investor’s name appears in the company’s records on this date, they qualify for the payout.

The ex-date is when the stock starts trading without the dividend benefit. Investors must purchase the stock in their demat account before this date to become eligible.

Interim vs Final Dividend

• Interim dividend: Declared and paid during the financial year, often quarterly or half-yearly.
• Final dividend: Announced after year-end results and approved by shareholders at the AGM.

Both types follow similar eligibility rules and tax treatment.
