Sonata Software dividend 2026: ₹1.25 key dates

Sonata Software has declared a dividend of ₹1.25 per equity share for the financial year ending March 2026. The company has set 13-Feb-2026 as both the record date and the ex-dividend date, which determines who is eligible to receive the payout.

For investors tracking corporate actions, the coincidence of record and ex-dividend dates makes timing important. Shareholders who are registered as owners on the record date are eligible, while purchases made on or after the ex-dividend date do not carry the dividend entitlement.

Dividend amount and what “125%” means

The dividend is ₹1.25 per share on an equity share with a face value of ₹1, described as a 125% interim dividend. In practical terms, that percentage simply translates to ₹1.25 for every share held.

The dividend type is listed as an equity share dividend. The company typically declares dividends around quarterly or annual earnings announcements, aligned with its financial calendar.

Record date and ex-dividend date: 13-Feb-2026

The record date is 13-Feb-2026, which is the date the company uses to identify eligible shareholders for the dividend payment. The ex-dividend date is also 13-Feb-2026, meaning the stock trades without the dividend benefit from that date.

Investors who purchase shares on or after 13-Feb-2026 will not be entitled to receive this dividend. Registered shareholders who own the shares on or before the record date set by the company are eligible for the payout.

When can investors expect the dividend credit

The dividend is expected to be credited to the bank account linked to the investor’s Demat account within 25 to 45 business days after the record date of 13-Feb-2026. The same 25-to-45 business day timeline is also stated as the typical credit window.

Separately, for earlier interim dividends, the company has also communicated specific payment timelines in filings. For example, the second interim dividend associated with November 2025 was stated to be paid on or after 3-Dec-2025.

FY-wise totals mentioned in the data

The information provided includes dividend totals at a financial-year level, which helps investors contextualise the per-share announcements. According to the data, Sonata Software has declared dividend worth ₹6.90 in FY 2025-2026 and ₹4.40 in FY 2024-2025.

It also states that Sonata Software has paid a total dividend of ₹11.30 in 2023-2025. These figures are presented as aggregate dividends across the stated periods.

What changes for the stock on the ex-dividend date

The ex-dividend date is described as the final day investors must possess or purchase shares to qualify for the upcoming dividend distribution. Once the stock trades ex-dividend, a buyer is no longer entitled to that declared payout.

In November 2025 coverage referenced in the data, Sonata Software’s shares were noted to become ex-dividend on November 21, and investors were told transactions needed to be completed by the conclusion of the prior trading session to be eligible. The same eligibility logic applies to the 13-Feb-2026 event because the ex-date and record date are the same.

Related corporate actions also listed

Beyond dividends, the information also includes a bonus issue entry. Sonata Software’s bonus history shows a 1:1 bonus with a book closure/record date of 12-Dec-2023.

Dividend entries in the corporate actions list also include percentage-style notations (for example, 700.0 and 875.0) alongside ex-dates such as 07-Nov-2023 and 21-Jul-2023. In the narrative provided, one of these is described as a “700% interim dividend” with an ex-date of 07-Nov-2023.

Key takeaways for investors
