How dividends work

A company announces a dividend with two dates. The ex-date is the first day the share trades without it: buy before then and the dividend is yours, buy on or after it and it stays with the seller. The record date is the day the company reads its register of shareholders to see who is paid. Since shares settle the next working day, the two are usually the same day. The money reaches your bank account within 30 days of the dividend being declared.

What is the ex-dividend date?

The first trading day on which a share is sold without its announced dividend. To receive the dividend you must buy the share before the ex-date, by the close of the trading day before it. Selling on or after the ex-date still leaves the dividend with you.

What is the record date?

The date on which the company checks its register of shareholders. Everyone on it receives the dividend. Shares in India settle the next working day, so a buyer is on the register a day after buying, which is why the ex-date and the record date are now usually the same day.

When is the dividend paid into my account?

Within 30 days of the dividend being declared: at the annual general meeting for a final dividend, at the board meeting for an interim one. It is paid to the bank account linked to your demat account.

What is the difference between an interim, a final and a special dividend?

An interim dividend is declared by the board during the year. A final dividend is proposed by the board after the year's accounts and declared by shareholders at the annual general meeting. A special dividend is a one-off payment, usually from a gain or surplus cash, and says nothing about the next year's dividend.

Why does the share price fall on the ex-date?

A buyer on the ex-date no longer receives the dividend, so the share usually opens lower by about the amount of the dividend. The holder who owned it the day before has the same value, part in the share and part in the dividend to come.

Is a dividend taxed?

Yes. A dividend is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate. The company deducts tax at 10% before paying it when your dividends from that company in the year come to more than ₹10,000.

Why is an amount missing for some dividends?

The company has fixed the record date but its board has not yet set the amount. The board meeting that will set it is named on the dividend; the amount appears once the company announces it.
