Varun Beverages Ltd. has declared a final dividend of Rs 0.50 per equity share on a face value of Rs 2 for the financial year ended December 31, 2025. The record date for determining shareholder eligibility has been set as April 8, 2026.

Jash Engineering Fixes April 10 as Record Date​

Jash Engineering Ltd. has announced an interim dividend of Rs 0.60 per equity share with a face value of Rs 2 for FY26. The company has fixed April 10, 2026, as the record date to identify eligible shareholders for the payout.

Understanding Ex-Dividend Date and Record Date​

Under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, investors must purchase shares before the ex-dividend date to qualify for dividend payouts. Shares bought on the record date itself are not eligible for dividends.

For example, if a stock has a record date of April 6, investors must buy the shares by April 5 to be eligible. The ex-dividend date typically falls one trading day before the record date, and the stock price adjusts accordingly to reflect the dividend payout.

Dividend Taxation Rules in India​

Dividends represent a portion of a company’s profits distributed to shareholders and can be issued as interim, final, or special dividends. These payouts are taxable in the hands of investors.

As per current regulations, companies are not required to pay Dividend Distribution Tax. However, a Tax Deducted at Source of 10% applies to resident individuals if total dividend income exceeds Rs 5,000 in a financial year.

Investors planning to capture dividend benefits this week should closely track ex-dividend dates and ensure timely purchases to meet eligibility criteria.
