T+1 Settlement Cycle
Given India's T+1 settlement cycle, shares purchased on the record date (July 27 in this case) will not be eligible for the dividend payment. Therefore, investors who own shares by July 24 will be the beneficiaries as it is Friday and markets are closed on the weekends.
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.
