Dividend alert! Last day to buy Asian Paints, Coal India and 6 more stocks for dividend payout worth nearly Rs 31. Do you own any?
Economic Times 1 hr ago·3 Nov 2026, 2:37 am
Asian Paints, Coal India and several other firms have declared dividends, and today is the last day to buy their shares and still qualify for the payout. Because SEBI’s T+1 settlement means a trade settles the next day, shares bought today will be in the demat account before the record date.
Eligibility for the dividend adds to an investor’s total return without any extra cost, but the share price usually drops on the ex‑dividend date to reflect the payout. Buying solely for the dividend should be weighed against the likely price adjustment and tax implications.
Investors should mark the upcoming ex‑dividend, record and payment dates announced by each company and monitor any revisions. Staying aware of the settlement schedule ensures the shares are credited in time, helping avoid missing the dividend or facing unexpected settlement issues.
