Hi,
My name is Balajee. I am new for share market.
Please give me a clear view regarding below Examples:-

Ex1:
Date 07/09/09 : TV 18 announced a bonus right issue.
Date 08/09/09 : After announcement I bought share. I bought 50 share of TV18
Ex-Date : 18/09/09
Record Date : 22/09/09

AM I ELIGIBLE FOR BONUS OF RIGHT ISSUE

Ex1:
If a company XYZ announced bonus/dividend , after announcement I bought share of XYZ company for just getting benefit of bonus/dividend. I sold share of XYZ on/after EX-Date.
AM I ELIGIBLE FOR BONUS/DIVIDEND

In simple word,
HOW MANY MINIMUM DAYS I HAVE TO HOLD A SHARE FOR GETTING BONUS/DIVIDEND.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Balajee,
You have to buy before ex-date, 18/9/2009.eg., you can buy on 17/9/09 also, no min holding days.

Thanks Rajesh !

It means no need to hold till Book closer date.

Minimum days means, just want to know trick When I will have to buy XYZ share and sell it so that I will get Bonus/Dividend of XYZ company.
Please give me an example.

Thanks again.

Hi,
eg., same TV18, buy on 17/8/9 one day before ex-date 18/9/09 and hold for a day.
RIGHTS 1:2 [email protected]/- you are entitled for the rights. but on the ex-date, the stock will get adjusted for rights and it will come dn, accordingly.

Thanks Rajesh!

Suppose Ex-date is 18/09/09 and I bought on 17/09/2009. According to T+2 day rule, my name will be recorded on 19/09/2009 then how can i entitled for bonus/dividend.

If I sold on 17/09/09 then i think it will be fine.
Please help me.
Thanks a ton .

No, if you have shares on 17/9/09 only you will get rights/bonus. if you sell it, you are not entitled to rights/bonus.

If you had bot on 17th, T+2 means 20,21 you will be the owner of the stock (since 18/19 sat,sund holiday).

22/9/09 is the record date, on which the your name will on the record books of the company.

if you sell on 17th, then you are not the owner from 17th sep.

Thanks a lot Rajesh.
My confusion is cleared.
Let me know one thing more plzzzz
How do i know Record date?
Is Record date AND Book closer start/end date are same thing or different.
Is it necessary to hold share upto Book closure start/end date?
I have a/c with Indiabulls. When i find record date of any Company. It will show me:
Book closure start/end date, Ex-date but not record date.

Thanks brother.

If u buy 50 shares at Rs.500 and bonus is 1:1 (You will get 50 bonus shares) and the prices will come down to Rs.250/-

Cost: 50 Shares*Rs.500 = 25000
Current value after bonus: 100 Shares* Rs.250= 25000/-

Therefore u wont get any profit bcoz of ur strategy.

Dont get disappointed my friend. There are lot more in Stock MKT. U are going to Njoy our world. Welcome to our world.
