CRISIL dividend 2026: ₹28 final payout dates, eligibility

What CRISIL has announced

CRISIL has communicated several dividend-related timelines for 2026 through exchange-linked updates and dividend detail pages. The information set out includes a ₹28 per share final dividend recommendation for the year ended December 31, 2025, and a separate process for a “first interim dividend” for the financial year ending December 31, 2026. Investors tracking eligibility need to focus on record dates and ex-dividend dates because they determine who receives the payout. The updates also show different entries for April 23, 2026, including a dividend line item displaying ₹0.00 per share in one dividend details section. Separately, CRISIL’s communication to stock exchanges refers to April 23, 2026 as a record date for an interim dividend, subject to board approval at a scheduled meeting. Because these are presented as distinct items in the provided text, the dates should be read in the context of the specific dividend being referred to. The company has also referenced compliance-related submissions to NSE and BSE for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Latest dividend details shown for April 23, 2026

A dividend details section lists April 23, 2026 as the record date, dividend date, and ex-date for an “Equity Share” dividend. In the same section, the dividend per share is shown as ₹0.00, and the text states CRISIL has declared an equity share dividend of ₹0.00 per share. The same block repeats that the record date and ex-dividend date are April 23, 2026 for eligibility confirmation. It also includes a generic line about enhancing shareholder value through regular dividend distributions. On timelines, it states dividends are generally expected to be credited within 25 to 45 business days after the record date, linked to the bank account connected with the demat account. This section, as provided, does not specify a separate payment date for the ₹0.00 line item. Investors should therefore separate the “dividend details” entry from other announcements that refer to an interim dividend process with board approval and a specified payment date.

Interim dividend process: record date, board approval, payment date

An exchange-style update states CRISIL has set April 23, 2026 as the record date for its first interim dividend for the financial year ending December 31, 2026. This interim dividend remains subject to approval by CRISIL’s Board of Directors. The board meeting to consider and approve the interim dividend is scheduled for April 17, 2026. The same update mentions a payout schedule of May 8, 2026, subject to board approval. It also notes the company notified both NSE and BSE, and that the formal intimation was signed by Company Secretary Minal Bhosale. In the provided table of “Parameter: Details”, the security type is stated as equity shares, alongside the record date, board meeting date, and payment date. The interim dividend amount is not specified in that portion of the text.

Final dividend for FY2025: ₹28 per share and key conditions

A separate set of updates ties ₹28 per equity share to CRISIL’s final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Board of Directors, at a meeting held on February 13, 2026, recommended a final dividend of ₹28 per share. The payout is described as subject to approval of members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). CRISIL’s 39th AGM is scheduled for April 17, 2026 at 2:30 PM IST, to be held via video conferencing (VC) and other audio-visual means (OAVM), with NSDL providing e-voting facilities. Another portion of the text states April 3, 2026 was set as the record date for this final dividend, with the ex-date shown as April 2, 2026 in the dividend history table. If approved at the AGM, the dividend is anticipated to be disbursed on April 23, 2026.

What the dividend history table shows

The dividend history section lists multiple equity-share dividends across 2025 and 2026. It shows a ₹28.00 per share entry with record date April 3, 2026 and ex-date April 2, 2026. It also shows an entry dated October 27, 2025 for ₹16.00 per share. Two entries display ₹0.00 per share, one with record date May 7, 2025 and another with record date April 23, 2026. The table format indicates these are equity share dividends and provides the relevant ex-dates. The history table does not include payment dates for each line item.

Stock move cited around the April 3 record-date announcement

One market snapshot in the text says CRISIL’s share price was ₹3,727.30 at 11:24 on April 2, 2026. That is described as a decrease of ₹87.60, or 2.30%, from the prior close of ₹3,814.90, based on exchange data. The same section links the move to market participants “recalibrating their positions” around the record-date phase, while noting that the key step would be shareholder approval at the AGM. This price movement is presented as a contemporaneous observation rather than as a causal conclusion about dividends.

Financial performance number cited in the text

The provided material includes one operating performance snapshot for CRISIL. For the quarter spanning October to December 2025, CRISIL’s standalone revenue is stated as ₹511.76 crore, and net profit as ₹153.42 crore. No additional quarterly comparisons, guidance, or full-year totals are included in the supplied text. The article also does not provide segment-level details or changes in costs.

Key dates and figures at a glance

What shareholders should check for eligibility

For the ₹28 final dividend, the text points to April 3, 2026 as the record date, meaning shareholders listed in the company’s register or depository records by that date would be eligible, subject to AGM approval. The ex-date shown in the dividend history is April 2, 2026, which matters for secondary-market purchases because buying on or after the ex-date typically does not confer eligibility for that dividend. For the interim dividend process, the text repeatedly flags April 23, 2026 as the record date, with approval pending at a board meeting scheduled for April 17, 2026 and a referenced payment date of May 8, 2026. Separately, a dividend details page also shows April 23, 2026 with a dividend per share of ₹0.00, which investors should treat as a distinct data point as presented. Investors relying on these timelines should cross-check the specific exchange filing for the dividend in question and ensure demat-linked bank details are current.

Conclusion

CRISIL-related dividend updates in the provided text point to two parallel tracks: a ₹28 final dividend for FY2025 tied to an April 3, 2026 record date and April 17, 2026 AGM approval, and an interim dividend process for FY2026 with April 23, 2026 as the record date and board consideration around mid-April. The next firm milestones mentioned are the April 17, 2026 AGM and board meeting references, followed by the stated payment dates of April 23, 2026 for the final dividend (if approved) and May 8, 2026 for the interim dividend process (if approved).
