SBI and 17 others set ex date for dividends and bonus issues next week

Record date decides everything for these corporate payouts

Next week, 18 Indian stocks including State Bank of India and Godrej Consumer Products will go ex-date for corporate actions such as dividends and bonus issues. To be eligible, investors must own shares before the record date. Once the ex-date hits, new buyers typically won’t receive the declared benefits, making timing crucial for holders.
