- The record date determines shareholder eligibility for receiving dividends in India
Dividend Stocks This Week: Coal India, Happiest Minds Technologies Ltd, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd, Dabur India, RailTel Corporation, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Dr. Lal PathLabs Ltd, among 33 stocks will trade ex-dividend in the coming week, starting Monday, Nov. 3, 2025.
D-Street investors eyeing dividend payouts must keep a close watch on these dates to ensure eligibility. To be eligible for dividends, investors should note the record date that determines shareholder eligibility.
To receive the dividend, shareholders must own the stock before the ex-dividend date. Under India's T+1 settlement system, shares bought on the record date will not qualify for dividend benefits.
For instance, if the record date of a dividend stock is Nov. 7, 2025, then investors must purchase shares by Nov. 6, 2025, to be eligible. The ex-dividend date, which comes before the record date, reflects when the share price adjusts to account for the upcoming payout.
What is a dividend?
Dividends are a way for companies to reward shareholders. It is the portion of profits that a company distributes to its shareholders and is essentially a return on the investment shareholders make in the company's equity. Such payments are made through final, interim, and special dividends. Dividends are taxable in the hands of the shareholders, and companies are no longer required to pay the Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT). The TDS on dividend income for resident individuals is 10% if the dividend amount exceeds Rs 5,000 in a financial year.
