What are Ex-Date and Record Date? Why is it important?
- Ex-Date: The ex-date is the date on which the stock starts trading “ex-dividend.” This means that if someone buys the stock on or after this date, they will be excluded from the benefits of the upcoming dividend, meaning they will not receive any dividends.
- Record Date: The record date is the day on which the company checks its shareholder records to see who the real shareholders of the company and are eligible to receive dividends. Because millions of people are buying and selling shares in the stock market every day, the company fixes a specific date. At the end of that date (after the market closes), the company pays dividends or bonuses only to those who have company shares in their demat accounts.
When will I receive dividends if I buy shares?
Do you know what it means that India is now running on a T+1 Settlement Cycle? This means that, for example, if you buy shares of a company today, then you will see that the shares are never credited to your demat account on the day you buy the shares. This means that the shares credited to your demat account are the day after the day you buy the shares. Since the Ex-Date and record date of HDFC Bank are 19 June 2026, if you want to get the dividend, you have to buy the shares by 18 June 2026.
But now the question is why you have to buy on 18 June 2026, and what if you buy on 19 June 2026? Suppose you buy shares on 18 June 2026; those shares will come to your demat account on 19 June 2026, due to which the company will register your name in their records as an eligible shareholder. And if you buy shares on 19 June 2026, then it will come to your account on 20 June 2026 for the T+1 Settlement Cycle, due to which you got shares of the company, but you will not be eligible to get this dividend.
But remember one thing: the day the shares are bought, the market has to be open. If the stock market is not open, shares of any company cannot be bought or sold. And suppose you buy shares of any company, but the next day, if the market is closed or it is a holiday, then the shares will not be credited to your demat account. Because the work of Exchange and Depositories (NSDL/CDSL) is completely closed. So no share settlement is done on holidays. So, when will the shares be credited to your demat account? The shares will be credited to your demat account within the next working days.
When will I receive the dividend money paid by HDFC Bank in my bank account?
