As many as three Bajaj Group companies including Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv and Bajaj Holdings and Investment have fixed June 30 as the record date for their respective dividends cumulatively worth Rs 138, effectively making today the last day for interested investors to buy the shares for the payouts.
Under SEBI's T+1 settlement cycle, investors must purchase a company's shares at least one trading day before the record date to ensure the shares are credited to their demat accounts in time, and they become eligible for the corporate action. Accordingly, today is the last opportunity for investors to buy the shares so that they are credited to their accounts by Tuesday, making them eligible for the dividends.
Bajaj Finance dividend
Bajaj Finance in April had announced that its board of directors recommended a final dividend of Rs 6 per share with a face value of Re 1 each for the financial year 2026. This includes a special payout of Rs 0.60 per equity share from the exceptional gain on sale of Bajaj Housing Finance Limited (BHFL) shares.
The said dividend will be credited on or after August 3. This comes after the company paid dividends worth Rs 56 per share in 2025 and Rs 36 in 2024, before the stock adjusted for a 4:1 bonus issue last year.
