Understanding Ex-Dividend Dates
The “ex-dividend date” is a really important date. It’s the last day you can own the stock to get the dividend payment. If you buy the stock *after* this date, you won’t be included in the list of people who get the money. The company decides this date and it’s based on when they’ll actually send the money out.
Dividend Amounts
Different companies are offering different amounts. Angel One is paying the most, at ₹23 per share. ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company is paying ₹14.85 per share. Bank of Maharashtra and NLC India are offering smaller amounts, ₹3.60 and ₹1 per share, respectively. These amounts are called “interim dividends,” meaning they are part of a larger amount the company plans to pay out.
Important Dates to Remember
Each company has a “record date” which decides who gets the dividend. This date is when the company checks its list of shareholders to see who is entitled to the payment. The dates for each company are listed in the table below.
| Company | Ex-date | Purpose | Record date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Maharashtra | Jan 20, 2026 | Interim Dividend – Rs – | Jan 20, 2026 |

| Havells India | Jan 23, 2026 | Interim Dividend | Jan 23, 2026 |
The company boards are meeting to make these decisions. They’ll confirm the dates and the amount of money each company will pay out. These meetings will happen on January 19th, 20th, and 20th, 2026.
