Eligibility
of Corporate Action:
Let's delve into the significance of
various pivotal dates concerning corporate actions:
Declaration
Date: On this day, the Board of Directors publicly
announces to both shareholders and the broader market its intention to
distribute dividends.
Ex-Date: This marks the point when a security is traded without the
inclusion of the corporate action benefits. Investors who purchase the security

action.

the corporate action.
Date
of Payment: This is the day when the company
dispatches the corporate action materials to the shareholders who held shares
on the record date. Usually occurring a week or more after the record date,
this timeframe ensures the company has ample time to accurately process
payments for all eligible parties.
You can check the Ex-date and record date on
