6 companies to go ex-dividend tomorrow. Last chance to buy; check list here

Investors should note that Wednesday, August 20, is the record date fixed for dividend eligibility in a number of companies, which means that shareholders whose names appear in the company’s records as of this date will be entitled to the declared dividends.

To be eligible, investors must buy the shares at least one working day prior to the record date, making today the last day to purchase these stocks.

A dividend is a portion of a company’s profit distributed to its shareholders, usually expressed as a percentage of the face value of the share or as a fixed amount per share. Dividends can be interim (declared during the financial year) or final (declared at the end of the financial year).

Here are the companies declaring dividends with August 20, 2025, as the record date:

• Bhansali Engineering Polymers– The company has declared an interim dividend of 100% at Rs 1 per share.
  
• Colab Platforms– The company has announced an interim dividend of 1% at Rs 0.01 per share.
  
• Ecos (India) Mobility & Hospitality– The company has declared a final dividend of 120% at Rs 2.40 per share.
  
• Him Teknoforge– The company has announced a final dividend of 25% at Rs 0.50 per share.
  
• Senco Gold– The company has declared a final dividend of 20% at Rs 1 per share.
  
  
• Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals– The company has announced a final dividend of 20% at Rs 1 per share.
  

The record date is the date set by a company to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend. Since stock market trades in India follow a T+1 settlement cycle, investors must own the shares before the ex-dividend date, which is usually one business day before the record date.

With August 20 being the record date, today marks the last opportunity for investors to buy these shares and become eligible for the dividends announced.
