Corporate actions such as bonus shares, dividends, and stock splits are processed automatically in your FYERS account based on your eligibility on the record date. At FYERS, we handle these updates in coordination with exchanges and the company’s registrar so your holdings and credits reflect correctly.
This article explains when each benefit appears, where it is credited, and what to expect in your FYERS account during the processing window.
Bonus Shares: When do they reflect?
Once a company announces a bonus issue and sets a record date, eligible shareholders can expect the bonus shares to be credited to their Demat account within 2 working days from the record date.
Key points
- T+2 credit timeline: Bonus shares are not credited immediately on the record date. They generally reflect within 2 working days after the record date.
- ISIN behavior: Bonus shares typically use the same ISIN as the existing shares.
- Temporary P&L change: You may notice a temporary change in Notional P&L. This normalizes once bonus shares are visible and the market price stabilizes.
Example
Company B Ltd. announces a 1:1 bonus (you receive 1 bonus share for every 1 share held) with a record date of 15 June.
- Rashmi holds 200 shares on the record date.
- She receives 200 additional shares as bonus.
- The bonus shares typically reflect in her Demat within 2 working days from 15 June.
Dividends: When and where are they credited?
Dividends are not credited to your FYERS trading account or ledger. They are credited directly to your registered bank account by the company or its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA).
Timeline
- Typical credit window: within 30 to 45 days from the ex-dividend date.
- Processing is done by the company or RTA, not by the broker.
Where is the dividend credited?
- Directly to your bank account linked to your Demat.
- Not to your FYERS trading account or ledger.
Stock Splits: When do they reflect?
In a stock split, your number of shares increases and the price per share adjusts proportionally. Split credits usually reflect in your Demat within 1 to 2 working days after the record date.
Key points
- Credit timeline: 1 to 2 working days after the record date.
- ISIN behavior: Stock splits often result in a new ISIN assigned by the depository. Your Holdings will show the updated ISIN once live.
- Temporary P&L change: A short-term change in Notional P&L is expected and normalizes after the split is fully processed.
Example
A Ltd. announces a 5:1 split (each existing share becomes 5 shares) with record date 29 December:
- Anirban holds 100 shares at ₹1,000 each before the split.
- After the split, he holds 500 shares at about ₹200 each.
- Updated quantity and any new ISIN typically reflect within 1 to 2 working days after 29 December.
Credit Timings and Where to Check
At FYERS, each type of corporate action is credited differently depending on whether it involves securities or cash. The table below helps you understand when and where to look for your credit:
| Corporate Action | Credit Timeline | Where It Appears |
|---|
| Bonus Shares | Within 2 working days from record date | Reflected in your Demat account (visible under FYERS Holdings) |
| Dividends | Within 30–45 days from ex-date | Credited directly to your registered bank account (not to FYERS ledger) |
| Stock Splits | Within 1–2 working days from record date | Updated in your Demat account under the new ISIN, visible in FYERS Holdings |
What If...
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| Bonus shares are not visible right after the record date | This is expected. Please allow up to 2 working days for credit. |
| Dividend not received in my trading account | Dividends are credited to your registered bank account, not to your trading ledger. |
| Dividend still not received after 45 days | Contact the company’s RTA. If you need help identifying the RTA, you can also contact our support team. |
| Stock split not reflected by T+2 | Most splits reflect within 1 to 2 working days. If it still does not show, please contact our support team with the scrip and record date. |
| Notional P&L looks unusual around record date | Temporary P&L changes can occur around bonus or split processing. This normalizes after credit and price adjustment. |
| I sold shares on the ex-date | You are still eligible for the corporate action if you held the shares on the record date (T+1 settlement applies). |
Tip: Track the company’s official ex-date and record date and monitor your FYERS Holdings for updates after the stated timelines. This helps you anticipate when credits or adjustments will appear.
Important: If a bonus, split, or dividend has not reflected after the expected credit window, verify the record date from the company’s announcement and then
contact our support team with the scrip name, record date, and your client details so we can review it.
