If you are a Tata Motors shareholder, June 4, is an important date to mark. This is because today is the record date to determine who is eligible for the company’s final dividend of Rs 6 per share for the financial year 2024-25.
If your name is on the shareholder list today, you are officially set to receive the payout, subject to approval at the company’s upcoming AGM.
Tata Motors Dividend: What does the Rs 6 dividend mean?
The Rs 6 per share dividend declared by Tata Motors represents a 300% payout on the face value of Rs 2.
The dividend includes only a final payout this year, unlike last year’s split between a Rs 3 final and a Rs 3 special dividend.
Tata Motors Dividend: Why June 4 is the cut-off
To be eligible, investors needed to purchase Tata Motors shares before the ex-dividend date, which was June 3.
That means if you bought the stock today or after the ex-date, you won’t receive the Rs 6 dividend. The company uses the record date that is today to identify eligible shareholders.
Tata Motors Dividend: When will the dividend be paid out?
The dividend is not immediate. It is subject to approval at Tata Motors Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for June 20 this month.
If shareholders approve the proposal, the company will credit the dividend to eligible shareholders on or before June 24.
So, even if you have made the cut today, you will need to wait a couple of weeks for the payout to hit your account.
