Zensar Technologies, IIFL Finance among 7 stocks going ex-dividend. Last day to buy today

Investors eyeing dividend payouts from several listed companies should note that Thursday, January 29, 2026, is the ex-dividend date for companies, including Zensar Technologies and IIFL Finance.

This means today, January 28, 2026, is the last day to buy shares of these companies to be eligible for the declared interim dividends.

Zensar Technologies has declared an interim dividend of 120%, translating to Rs 2.4 per share, while IIFL Finance has announced a 200% interim dividend, amounting to Rs 4 per share.


These dividend declarations are part of a broader trend, with several other companies also rewarding shareholders this season.

Here's a list of all companies whose shares turn ex-dividend on January 29, along with the respective dividend amounts:

• Automobile Corporation of Goa: Interim dividend of 50% at Rs 5 per share.
  
• IIFL Finance.: Interim dividend of 200% at Rs 4 per share.
  
• India Motor Parts & Accessories: Interim dividend of 100% at Rs 10 per share.
  
  
• Jindal Stainless: Interim dividend of 50% at Rs 1 per share.
  
  
• Orient Electric: Interim dividend of 75% at Rs 0.75 per share.
  
• Shanthi Gears: Interim dividend of 300% at Rs 3 per share.
  
• Zensar Technologies: Interim dividend of 120% at Rs 2.4 per share.
  

To receive these dividends, shareholders must ensure that they purchase the stock before the ex-dividend date, as shares bought on or after the ex-date do not carry dividend rights.

Market participants tracking dividend-paying stocks may note that the record date, used to determine eligible shareholders, is typically the same as the ex-dividend date (except when record date is a market holiday), making today the final opportunity to qualify for the upcoming payouts.
