DIC India announces final dividend

DIC India Ltd has recommended a final dividend of Rs 3 per equity share, which is 30 per cent of the face value.

The board approved the dividend at its meeting held on 24 February 2026. The payout is subject to shareholder approval.

The company has fixed 16 March 2026 as the record date to determine eligible shareholders. The stock will also trade ex-dividend on the same date.

Shareholders whose names appear on the company’s register on the record date will receive the dividend.

5paisa Capital plans rights issue

5paisa Capital Ltd has announced a rights issue to raise funds from existing shareholders.

The company has set 17 March 2026 as the record date to determine eligibility for the issue. The rights shares will be offered at Rs 290 per share.

The rights ratio is 1:2. This means shareholders will have the right to apply for one additional share for every two shares held.

Each equity share has a face value of Rs 10.

Maha Rashtra Apex Corporation approves Rs 14.09 crore rights issue

Maha Rashtra Apex Corporation Ltd has approved a rights issue worth up to Rs 14.09 crore.

The company plans to issue up to 14,091,896 equity shares at Rs 10 each.

The record date to determine eligible shareholders is 20 March 2026. The rights issue will open for subscription on 2 April 2026 and close on 30 April 2026.

The move is aimed at strengthening the company’s capital base.

Metropolis Healthcare announces 3:1 bonus shares

Metropolis Healthcare Ltd has announced a 3:1 bonus share issue for its shareholders.

Under the plan, investors will receive three new fully paid-up equity shares of face value Rs 2 each for every one share held.

The company has fixed 20 March 2026 as the record date to determine eligibility for the bonus issue.

For instance, an investor holding 1,000 shares before the record date will receive 3,000 additional shares. This will increase the total holding to 4,000 shares after the bonus issue.

Why the ex-date matters

The ex-date plays a key role in determining who qualifies for a corporate benefit.

Investors must purchase the stock before the ex-date for the shares to settle in their demat account by the record date. Those buying on or after the ex-date will not be eligible for the dividend, bonus shares or rights entitlement.

Stock prices also typically adjust on the ex-date to reflect the value of the corporate action.
