As Samvardhana Motherson’s 1:2 bonus issue nears completion, a key question on every shareholder's mind is: When exactly will the bonus shares be credited? While the allotment has already been announced and the record date is known, the credit timeline isn’t always immediately clear to retail investors.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s been confirmed, what it means for shareholders, and when you might expect the bonus shares in your account.
On July 21, the Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (NSE: MOTHERSON) informed stock exchanges that it has officially allotted 351.81 crore bonus equity shares in a 1:2 ratio, as approved by shareholders through a postal ballot.
With this allotment, the company’s paid-up share capital has increased from ₹703.63 crore to ₹1,055.44 crore, with each new bonus share having a face value of ₹1 and carrying equal rights as existing shares.
This bonus issue was part of Motherson Group’s 50th anniversary celebration, first declared by the board on May 29, 2025.
Motherson had earlier fixed July 18, 2025, as the record date for the bonus issue. This means that July 17 was the ex-date the last day to purchase shares and be eligible for bonus shares. Since India follows a T+1 settlement cycle, any shares bought on or after July 18 would not make the cut for eligibility.
While the allotment has been completed and the record date has passed, the exact credit date to demat accounts is usually a few working days after record date. In most cases, bonus shares are credited within 3–5 business days. Investors should monitor their demat holdings with their broker or through NSDL/CDSL portals to confirm the credit.

As always, it’s best to track updates through official sources and your brokerage platform.
