What is a Dividend?

A dividend is a portion of a company's earnings distributed to its shareholders as a reward for their investment. It reflects the company's profitability and confidence in its financial health. Dividends are typically paid in cash or additional shares. At Pocketful, we make it easy for investors to track and manage dividends directly through our platform.

Key Dates Related to Dividend

  1. Declaration Date: The date on which the company announces its intention to pay a dividend.
  2. Ex-Dividend Date: The cut-off date to determine which shareholders are eligible for the dividend. Shares purchased after this date will not qualify.
  3. Record Date: The date on which the company checks its records to identify eligible shareholders.
  4. Payment Date: The date on which the dividend is credited to shareholders.

Example of a Dividend

Suppose Jindal Saw Ltd declares a dividend of ₹5 per share on January 1, 2024. The key dates are:

  • Declaration Date: January 1, 2024
  • Ex-Dividend Date: January 10, 2024
  • Record Date: January 11, 2024
  • Payment Date: January 20, 2024

If an investor owns 100 shares of Jindal Saw Ltd, they will receive ₹500 (₹5 x 100) as a dividend payment from Jindal Saw Ltd. Using Pocketful, investors can easily view this data under the corporate actions section and stay updated on key announcements.
