Dividends India: Sep 14-18, 2026 ex-date list

Why dividend dates are trending this week

Reddit threads and market-focused social accounts have been sharing long, copy-pasted corporate-action tables for Indian listed companies. A common point in these posts is that the tables are “now unsorted”, so readers are re-ordering them by ex-date or record date. One compilation claimed that 149 companies will turn ex-date for dividend during the week. The highest engagement is around two clusters of dates: Sep 14, 2026 and Sep 18, 2026. Many entries are tagged as “Final Dividend”, which is why traders are watching eligibility cut-offs closely. The lists also mix NSE EQ names with some small and SME counters marked as SM. A few posts include non-India dividend data, but the India-specific tables are the ones being reshared most. The main takeaway from the chatter is not dividend yield but timing and eligibility.

Ex-dividend date vs record date, in plain terms

The ex-dividend date is the date on which a stock begins trading without the value of its next dividend payment. To receive the dividend, you must own the stock before this date, as noted in the shared posts. Many of the circulated tables show ex-date and record date as the same day for certain counters, while other screenshots emphasise the record date only. Because the tables are being reposted in fragments, it is easy to mix up what is ex-date and what is record date for a specific company. Another point is that “book closure start” and “book closure end” are shown as blanks in several rows. That means the social posts are acting as a quick calendar, not a complete corporate action notice. If you are using these lists for a watchlist, treat them as a starting point to verify dates. Traders also discuss that a stock can price-adjust around the ex-date, which is why these dates get attention.

Sep 14, 2026: record-date cluster for final dividends

A large chunk of the reshared list flags Sep 14, 2026 as the record date for final dividends across multiple companies. Names repeatedly mentioned include Aarti Industries, Advait Energy Transitions, Apar Industries, Balmer Lawrie and Company, Balmer Lawrie Investments, Blue Jet Healthcare, and CMS Info Systems. The same set of posts also includes smaller entries like Haryana Leather Chemicals, Mangal Credit and Fincorp, Manorama Industries, Mold-Tek Technologies, Poddar Pigments, RHI Magnesita India, Sal Automotive, Tega Industries, and Zuari Industries. These are presented as dividend amounts per share, not dividend percentages. In at least one social table, Apar Industries is shown with a final dividend of Rs 60 per share and several others are in the Rs 1 to Rs 4 range. Since the lists are being reposted in different formats, the cleanest way to read them is company-by-company. Below is a compact extraction of what was explicitly shared around Sep 14 and Sep 18.

Sep 14, 2026: additional names highlighted by traders

Alongside the record-date list, another widely shared snapshot focuses on ex-dividend dates and shows Sep 14, 2026 for several stocks. The entries include Superhouse, Samkrg Pistons Rings, and The Hitech Gears, all marked as final dividends with per-share amounts. Time Technoplast is also shown in that same “September 14, 2026” ex-date list with Rs 1.50. Suraksha Diagnostic is shown with Rs 0.50, and Pondy Oxides Chemicals is shown with Rs 5.00. Some posts also include a “Div Percent” column for those entries, but the core actionable detail being discussed is the date itself. Because these are social screenshots, the safest use is as a checklist rather than a definitive corporate action notice. Investors in these counters are mainly checking whether they hold the shares before the relevant ex-date. The repeated discussion is that missing the ex-date typically means missing the upcoming dividend eligibility.

Sep 18, 2026: next wave, with many events mentioned

For Sep 18, 2026, one post explicitly labels it as “Friday 42 events”, indicating a large number of corporate actions on that date. The same snippet lists several final dividends with record date Sep 18, 2026, including AVG Logistics, B&B Triplewall Containers, BCL Industries, Beekay Steel Industries, Bharat Bhushan Finance and Commodity Brokers, and Caplin Point Laboratories. The amounts shown range from Rs 0.35 per share (BCL Industries) to Rs 4.00 per share (Caplin Point Laboratories). The social lists do not show payment dates in these India tables, so the focus stays on record date and dividend amount. Another Sep 18 entry circulating is not a dividend at all: Oriana Power is shown for a face value split from Rs 10 per share to Rs 2 per share, with ex-date and record date both listed as 18-Sep-2026. That is being discussed separately as a corporate action calendar item. If you track corporate actions, Sep 18 is being treated as a heavy day in these community calendars.

Quick context from earlier in the week: Sep 9 to Sep 11

Although Sep 14 and Sep 18 dominate the conversation, the reposted tables also include earlier ex-dates that traders used as reference. For Sep 9, 2026, examples in the shared list include Century Plyboards (Re 1 per share), Aastha Spintex (Re 0.10), Kronox Lab Sciences (Re 0.50), Shree Digvijay Cement (Re 1), and GNFC (Rs 21). Some lists also mention Share India Securities (Re 0.50) and JBM Auto (Re 0.85) for Sep 9. For Sep 10, 2026, the circulated rows include Indoco Remedies (Re 0.20), Power Mech Projects (Rs 1.50), Apex Frozen Foods (Rs 2.50), Ganesha Ecosphere (Rs 3.50), Zee Entertainment Enterprises (Rs 2), and TVS Srichakra (Rs 37.80). A separate SME entry shows Emkay Tools with an ex-date of Sep 11, 2026 and a dividend of Rs 3 per share. These examples are being used in posts to explain how quickly ex-date lists can change day to day. They also show why unsorted tables can mislead if you scan them without filtering by date.

How readers are using these lists in practice

The dominant use-case on Reddit is building a short calendar for the next two Fridays and Mondays. Users typically copy company names into a watchlist and then cross-check their broker’s corporate actions section. Another common approach is to filter by ex-date so they know the last day to buy for eligibility. Some posters specifically point out that record date and ex-date can appear the same in these tables, which makes date verification more important. Several lists include face value information, which is helpful mainly for interpreting dividend expressions like “Re 1 per share”. The “series” column is also being discussed because EQ and SM entries are mixed in the same dumps. Traders are also separating dividend actions from non-dividend actions like the Oriana Power face value split. The lists are being used as a reminder tool rather than a valuation tool. In short, the social workflow is: identify date cluster, identify company, then verify the corporate action details.

Cautions when reading reposted corporate-action tables

First, multiple posts explicitly say the table is “now unsorted”, which increases the chance of missing a company or mixing up dates. Second, some screenshots show only record date, while others show ex-date, so the same company can appear in different ways across posts. Third, several rows leave book closure fields blank, so you do not get the full event window in these copies. Fourth, a few posts mix India entries with global dividend tables that include yields and payment dates, which can confuse readers searching for Indian corporate actions. Fifth, company names and symbols sometimes appear in different formats across lists, so matching by both helps reduce errors. Finally, “Dividend - Re” and “Dividend - Rs” formats are both present, so the currency unit should be read carefully. Treat these lists as community-compiled summaries, not primary documents. If you are acting on a dividend date, verify ex-date and record date from an official corporate action source.
