What is a record date?
The record date is the cut-off date fixed by the company for ascertaining shareholder eligibility. In simple terms, on this date, the company checks its records to decide which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend.
If you are a shareholder and your name appears in the company’s records on or before this date, you are eligible for the dividend. However, if you buy the shares after the record date, you will not get that dividend.
