Bajaj Holdings dividend: Record date, ₹65 interim 2026

Interim dividend announced for FY2026

Bajaj Holdings & Investment Ltd has declared an interim dividend for the financial year ending 31 March 2026. The board approved an interim dividend of ₹65 per equity share, which the company also described as 650% on a face value of ₹10 per share. For investors tracking corporate actions, the key dates matter because eligibility is decided around the record date and the ex-dividend date.

The company’s exchange communication also indicated that this is the first interim dividend announced for FY2026. Separately, dividend information pages reiterated that shareholders must be on the company’s register on the specified record date to receive the payout.

Key dates: record date, ex-dividend date, and payout

Bajaj Holdings & Investment has fixed 22 September 2025 as the record date for determining the eligible members for the interim dividend. The ex-dividend date is also 22 September 2025, which means the stock starts trading without the dividend entitlement from that day.

The company has stated that the interim dividend will be credited or dispatched on or before 14 October 2025 to eligible shareholders. Investors typically watch these dates closely because even a one-day difference in purchase timing can impact eligibility.

What record date and ex-date mean for shareholders

The record date is the cut-off date used by the company to identify shareholders eligible for the dividend. If your name appears as a shareholder on or before the record date, you are eligible for the dividend.

The ex-dividend date is the first trading day when buyers of the share are not entitled to receive the declared dividend. The dividend information note in the provided data also states that investors will not be entitled to the payout if they purchase shares on or after the ex-dividend date of 22 September 2025.

How and when dividend credit is expected

The company’s filing indicates payment will be made on or before 14 October 2025. At the same time, the dividend information note in the provided data says investors can expect to receive the dividend in the bank account linked to their Demat account within 25 to 45 business days after the record date.

In practice, the company’s stated payment deadline provides a clearer timeline for this particular interim dividend. Shareholders generally receive the amount through direct credit or dispatch as per the company’s payment process and registered details.
