Which app shows corporate actions in India?
Quick Answer: The official record of corporate actions sits on NSE's and BSE's websites, where each event is listed with its purpose, ex-date and record date. Every tracking app works from that exchange data. NSE's equity list carried 1,735 entries with ex-dates from 1 January to 21 September 2026, most of them dividends.
A corporate action is any company decision that changes what a shareholder receives or owns: cash, extra shares, a new share structure or an offer to tender shares. In India, SEBI's listing rules decide when each one must reach the exchanges. This guide covers where to follow them, which kinds turned up in 2026 and how to keep the key dates for the stocks you follow in one view.
Which app shows corporate actions in India?
Several apps show corporate actions in India, and each of them reads from the lists NSE and BSE publish. NSE's equity list alone ran to 1,735 entries in 2026 up to 21 September. Both exchange sites are free to use.
Multibagg's corporate actions page puts bonus issues, dividends, rights, splits, mergers, demergers and buybacks in a single calendar. It opens on roughly the next two weeks, and a filter narrows it to stocks in your watchlist or portfolio.
Moneycontrol is one of several third-party sites with a corporate action calendar. Broker platforms have their own. Picking between them mostly comes down to which view you already use. When an app and the exchange list disagree on a date, the exchange list is the record.
Three things separate these calendars. The first is coverage, meaning whether both NSE and BSE listings appear. The second is the dates shown, since some carry only an announcement date rather than the ex-date and the record date, and the third is whether the list can be narrowed to the stocks on a watchlist or in a portfolio.
What corporate actions do companies in India announce in 2026?
Dividends dominate. Of the 1,735 entries on NSE's equity corporate actions list with ex-dates from 1 January to 21 September 2026, 1,549 named a dividend.
Corporate actions on NSE's equity list by purpose, ex-dates 1 January to 21 September 2026 (NSE corporate actions data; as of 22 September 2026)
| Purpose named in the entry | Entries |
|---|---|
| Dividend | 1,549 |
| Bonus issue | 31 |
| Face value split | 29 |
| Rights issue | 28 |
| Buyback | 25 |
| Demerger | 7 |
Because an entry can name more than one purpose, the column does not add up to the total. Less frequent actions matter more per event, since they change the number or structure of shares rather than paying cash. For stocks with futures and options, NSE also issues a circular adjusting the contracts, as it did for HAL's split in September 2023 through NSE/FAOP/58629.
The coming month tilts the same way, with fewer purposes on the list. For ex-dates from 22 September to 22 October 2026, NSE's list showed 84 entries: 83 dividends and one face value split.
What are the types of corporate actions?
SEBI's listing rules, in Regulation 42, name six record-date purposes, led by dividends, rights and bonus issues, and mergers, demergers and splits.
Each works differently. A dividend pays cash per share. A bonus issue adds free shares in a fixed ratio, and a stock split divides each share into more shares of lower face value, though neither changes the total value of a position by itself. A rights issue offers existing shareholders new shares at a set price, and a buyback offers to purchase shares from those who choose to tender.
Mergers, demergers and capital reductions reshape the company itself, usually through a scheme of arrangement. BSE's purpose list also covers consolidation of shares and voluntary delisting, both of which can shrink or end a listed position. For a recent bonus case, see our note on Aastha Spintex's 1:1 bonus record date.
Where do NSE and BSE publish corporate actions?
As of 22 September 2026, both exchanges keep a corporate actions list giving each event's purpose, ex-date and record date, and company filings back each list.
NSE's corporate actions page covers equity, SME, debt and mutual fund segments, with forthcoming and past views and a CSV export. Separate NSE pages track rights issues, schemes of arrangement and daily buyback activity.
BSE's corporate actions page filters by purpose from a long list, including amalgamation, bonus issue, buyback, consolidation, reduction of capital, spin-off, stock split and voluntary delisting. It also shows an actual payment date for cash actions.
Each exchange's announcements feed holds the filings themselves, and that is where the terms first appear: the ratio, the price or the amount. Upcoming board meetings appear on NSE's Board Meetings and Event Calendar pages before any decision is taken, which gives advance warning.
How do you track corporate action dates?
Track the board meeting, the board outcome filing, the record date and the ex-date. SEBI's listing rules set notice periods of 2 to 7 working days ahead of each.
A company must give the exchanges at least two working days' notice of board meetings on a buyback, a rights issue or other fund raising. The outcome is due within 30 minutes of the meeting closing, or within three hours if the meeting ends after market hours with more than three hours to spare before the next session.
Record dates need at least three working days' notice for dividends, bonus, rights and splits, and seven working days for actions through a scheme of arrangement, under Regulation 42 of SEBI's listing regulations. Between one record date and the next, a company also needs a gap of five working days or more.
The ex-date is the one that affects trading, since it is the first day the share trades without the entitlement. Some actions carry a date after that. For a bonus issue, SEBI requires the board outcome to state when the new shares will be credited, and BSE's list shows an actual payment date for cash actions.
How do corporate action alerts work on Multibagg?
Multibagg's alerts page, as of 22 September 2026, sends WhatsApp updates on corporate actions and quarterly results for stocks in your portfolio and watchlist, free of charge.
Setup runs through those lists, with a company going onto a watchlist or portfolio before alerts start from Multibagg's alerts page. They can be switched off later.
For the full stream of filings rather than alerts, Multibagg's timeline collects company announcements and NSE and BSE filings for the stocks in your watchlist and portfolio. An alert signals that something was filed, while the filing itself carries the ratio, record date or price.

An AGM can carry several corporate actions at once. Our note on Black Box's 2026 AGM shows a ₹1 dividend and a capital reclassification approved at one meeting.
