Which app shows dividend announcement dates in India?
Quick Answer: Dividend announcements are first filed with NSE and BSE, whose corporate action pages list each dividend with its ex-date and record date. Apps and market-data sites list the same dividends too. In NSE's list for 22 September to 22 October 2026, all 83 dividends have the ex-date on the record date.
A dividend in India passes through four dates: the board decision, the filing with the exchanges, the record date and the payment. SEBI's listing rules set how quickly the filing must follow and how much notice the record date needs. This page covers where each date is published, how T+1 settlement ties the ex-date to the record date and how to get notified when a dividend is filed.
Which app shows dividend announcement dates in India?
Several apps and market-data sites list dividend announcement dates in India, and all of them work from the exchange record. Within 30 minutes of the board meeting ending, a company generally files its dividend decision with NSE and BSE under SEBI's listing rules, and the two exchanges then show it in their corporate action lists with the purpose, the amount per share, the ex-date and the record date.
Moneycontrol and Trendlyne are among the market sites running dividend and corporate action calendars. Multibagg's corporate actions page lists upcoming dividends alongside bonus issues, splits, rights and buybacks, and it can be filtered by action type, date range and the stocks in a watchlist or portfolio. If two sources disagree, the exchange filing is the version that counts, whichever app it came from.
How does T+1 settlement change the ex-dividend date in India in 2026?
Under T+1 settlement, the ex-dividend date and the record date fall on the same trading day. NSE's list shows the two dates matching for all 83 dividends with ex-dates from 22 September to 22 October 2026.
It comes down to the settlement cycle: NSE Clearing's September 2026 calendar settles the capital market segment on T+1, so shares bought on a given day reach the demat account the next trading day.
A buyer's name appears on the company's register on the record date only if the purchase has settled by then, which means buying no later than the trading day before. A trade made on the record date itself settles a day too late, so on the record date the share starts trading without the dividend, ex-dividend.
Notice periods add a buffer of their own. Because a record date must be notified at least three working days ahead, there are normally a few trading sessions between the notice and the ex-date, even on the shortest timeline SEBI allows.
Dividend ex-dates against record dates on NSE, equity segment (NSE corporate actions data; as of 22 September 2026)
| Period of ex-dates | Dividend entries | Ex-date same as record date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 January to 21 September 2026 | 1,549 | 1,421 |
| 22 September to 22 October 2026 | 83 | 83 |
What is the ex-dividend date?
The ex-dividend date is the first trading day on which a share trades without the declared dividend. In 2026 it is usually the record date itself.
Buying on or after this date does not earn the dividend. The seller's side keeps it. NSE and BSE print the ex-date beside each dividend in their corporate action lists, so it is the one date to check before a trade.
Exceptions come from the calendar: when a record date falls on a non-trading day, the ex-date moves to the last trading day before it. TCS, for example, set a Saturday record date of 17 January 2026, and NSE listed the ex-date as Friday, 16 January.
In the 2026 data, 128 dividends had an earlier ex-date. For 110 of them the record date was a weekend or trading holiday, while the other 18 fell on 19 February, 19 March or 26 August, which were settlement holidays when trading still ran.
Ex-dividend date vs record date: what is the difference?
Companies set the record date to fix who is entitled to the dividend, while the exchange sets the ex-date for trading. Under T+1 they usually coincide.
The record date is a register date: it fixes which shareholders are entitled. SEBI's listing regulations require at least three working days' notice of it to the exchanges, down from seven before 13 December 2024.
An ex-date is a trading date, set so that trades settle in time for the register. It can shift when settlement changes. In September 2025, NSE circular NSE/CML/70058 kept the ex-date at 8 September for 56 securities, even though 26 of them moved their record date to 9 September after a settlement holiday change.
Where do NSE and BSE publish dividend announcements?
Each dividend appears twice on NSE and BSE. The first entry is the board outcome filing, due within 30 minutes of the meeting, and the second is a corporate actions entry.
NSE's corporate actions page shows the symbol, the purpose with the amount per share, the face value, the ex-date and the record date. Filters cover forthcoming or past periods, and the list downloads as a CSV. Meetings ahead of the decision show up on NSE's Board Meetings and Event Calendar pages.
BSE's corporate actions page filters by ex-date, record date or book closure date, by industry and by purpose, with Dividend as one option, and it also carries an actual payment date column, which NSE's list does not.
Payment dates first appear in the board outcome filing, because SEBI's rules require it to state when the dividend will be paid. Regulation 43 adds that dividends are declared and disclosed per share only, which is why both exchange lists show an amount per share. Dividends are one of several events on those lists, and our guide to tracking corporate actions covers the rest.
How do dividend alerts work on Multibagg?
As of 22 September 2026, Multibagg's alerts page says it sends WhatsApp updates on stocks in your portfolio and watchlist, including corporate actions and quarterly results. The service is free and can be turned off at any time.
Setup starts from Multibagg's alerts page, where the stocks being followed go into a portfolio or watchlist. An alert then arrives once there is news on those stocks, in place of a daily check of each exchange page.
Alerts point you to the event. The exchange filing holds the details. For examples of how a single dividend's dates line up, see our notes on APAR Industries' ₹60 dividend dates and Maharashtra Scooters' FY26 payout.
Where to read a single dividend's dates
Once a record date is fixed, the key dates for that dividend are set. For a worked case that includes an AGM, read our note on Oil India's 2026 dividend record date. The board outcome filing carries the payment date, and the NSE and BSE lists carry the ex-date and the record date.
