Bonus Share Issues Scheduled This Week (July 14–18, 2025)

What Is a Bonus Share and Who Is Eligible?

A bonus share is a free additional share given to existing shareholders in a specified ratio, such as 1:1 or 1:2. These shares are issued from the company's retained earnings or reserves, and do not involve any cash outflow from shareholders.

Eligibility is determined by the record date, which is the cut-off set by the company. To receive the bonus shares, investors must hold the shares in their demat account by the end of the record date. Transactions must be settled before the ex-date, which typically falls one working day prior to the record date.

How Bonus Shares Are Credited?

After the record date, eligible shareholders automatically receive bonus shares. These shares are usually credited to your demat account within 5–7 working days.

A demat account is an electronic account that holds your shares and securities in digital form. Once bonus shares are allotted, they will reflect under the same ISIN in your demat account. Shareholders don’t need to take any additional action to claim them.
