Am I eligible for dividends and corporate actions on MTF holdings?
Yes. If you hold shares under the Margin Trading Facility (MTF) at FYERS, you remain eligible for all corporate actions such as dividends, bonuses, rights issues, and stock splits. This is because the shares stay in your demat account even though they are pledged for margin purposes.
As long as you continue to hold the shares on the relevant record date, you will receive all associated benefits directly to your demat or linked bank account, depending on the corporate action.
What If...
| Scenario | What You Should Know |
|---|
| You hold pledged shares on the record date | You will receive dividends, bonuses, and rights like a regular shareholder. |
| You sell the shares before the record date | You won’t be eligible for the corporate action since benefits are based on record date holdings. |
| A rights issue is announced | You can choose to apply for rights shares. Ensure you have sufficient funds in your account before the deadline. |
Tip: Always check the company’s record date and ex-date for corporate actions, as eligibility depends entirely on your shareholding on those dates.
