- Shares of Bharti Airtel, Dabur India, HCLTech, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and 37 others have record dates on July 18
- Investors must buy shares before July 18 to qualify for dividends under India's T+1 settlement cycle
- Bharti Airtel declared a final dividend of Rs 16 per share for the financial year 2025
Shares of Bharti Airtel Ltd., Dabur India Ltd., HCLTech Ltd., Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. and 37 other companies will be of interest on Thursday as it marks the last session for investors to buy shares to qualify for receiving the dividend before the stock goes ex/record-date.
For a dividend, investors should note the record date that determines shareholder eligibility.
Under India's T+1 settlement cycle, shares purchased on the record date itself will not qualify for the dividend payment. Hence, if the record date of a dividend stock is July 18, then shares must be purchased by July 17.
