Bonus Shares This Week: A Guide for Indian Investors
Two companies, Concord Control Systems Ltd. and Welcure Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd., are set to disburse bonus shares to their respective stakeholders, with their record dates falling this week. In this article, we will delve into the details of these bonus issues, including the record dates, ratios, and what it means for investors.
Understanding Bonus Shares and Record Dates
Bonus shares are additional shares issued by a company to its existing shareholders, usually as a way to reward them for their loyalty and to increase the liquidity of the shares. The record date is the cutoff date used to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive the bonus shares. Investors who want to be eligible for a bonus issue should pay attention to the record date, as only those who hold the shares in their demat account as of this date will be eligible for the bonus allotment.
Under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, investors must buy the shares at least one trading day before the record date to be eligible. This means that purchases made on the record date itself will not reflect in the demat account in time.
