Dividends are typically credited to eligible shareholders' bank accounts within 30 to 45 days after the record date, depending on the company's schedule and mode of payment.
The exact timeline can vary based on the registrar, company policies, and shareholder details. Let’s take a look at how much time it will take for Bajaj Finance’s FY2024–25 final dividend to be credited—and who qualifies for it.
The record date for the final dividend was May 30, 2025, meaning only those holding shares of Bajaj Finance by market close on May 29 (due to India’s T+1 settlement cycle) will be eligible. Shares bought on May 30 or later would not qualify.
Bajaj Finance has consistently rewarded its shareholders over the past few years. The company issued a final dividend of ₹36 in June 2024 and ₹30 in June 2023, marking an upward trend in payouts aligned with its financial growth.
To be eligible for the ₹44 per share final dividend announced by Bajaj Finance for FY2024–25, investors needed to own the shares by May 29, 2025. This is because the record date was set for May 30, and under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, purchases made on or after the record date are not considered for dividend eligibility. Only shareholders whose names appeared in the company’s register as of May 30 will receive the dividend payout.
While the dividend will be credited from July 28, 2025, only those who held Bajaj Finance shares by May 29 will receive it. Investors should keep such timelines in mind when trading around dividend announcements to make informed decisions.
