Several companies are scheduled to reward their shareholders this week. Six specific firms PI Industries, AK Capital Services, NBCC (India), Stratmont Industries, Dhunseri Ventures, and Spice Islands Industries have set their record dates for dividend payments.
Understanding Record and Ex Dividend Dates
To receive a dividend, investors must understand the record date. This is the cutoff date set by a company to determine which shareholders are eligible for the payout.
Under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, buying shares on the record date is too late to qualify for the dividend. You must own the shares at least one day before the record date. For example, if the record date is February 23, 2026, you must purchase the shares by February 22, 2026.
The ex-dividend date usually falls one business day before the record date. This is when the stock price typically adjusts to account for the dividend payout.
