Dividend dates for Equity mutual funds?

[rakamaka]

Most of debt funds have set daily, monthly or yearly dividend dates.
What about equity funds? Each one have dividend option but I dont know when they will declare dividend. Searched fund companies websites, very randomly once in year they post dividend.
I am looking for equity funds (dividend option) which will declare dividend monthly or qtly. Where can i find this info.
Thanks

Reinvested dividends
Most mutual funds allow you to reinvest your dividends, and many investors choose to do so. When you have your dividends reinvested you're treated the same as if you received the dividend in cash and then used that money to buy additional shares. That means two things:

You'll report the same income from a reinvested dividend as you would from a dividend you received in cash.
The reinvestment is an additional purchase, causing an increase in the cost basis of your overall holdings in the mutual fund.
Kinds of dividends
Mutual funds can receive various kinds of income, each with a different tax treatment. Most of these tax differences "flow through" to the mutual fund investor. If a mutual fund holds stock more than a year and sells it for a capital gain, for example, part of your dividend from the mutual fund will be treated as long-term capital gain, allowing you to benefit from the lower tax rates that apply to that kind of income. Mutual fund distributions fall into the following categories:

Ordinary dividends
Ordinary dividends include all kinds of taxable income except long-term capital gains. They are not necessarily taxed at ordinary tax rates, though, because this category can include qualified dividends that are taxed at lower rates.

Thanks for reply.
But how do i know when equity funds will pay pay dividends and reinvest. There are not dates declared from mutual fund companies. Those are very random and whimsical.
Why not equity MF(D) pay dividends on regular interval?

Declaring dividends by Companies / Mutual funds is not compulsory. If the Company management / MF thinks it is the correct time to declare dividend, they will declare. It is left to the decision of the Management. However, there are some MF's which declare dividend at regular intervals. The name itself may be " x fund - quarterly Dividend", etc. If u choose such MF's u may get dividends regularly as per the scheme.
