When will stock split reflect in my account?
When a company announces a stock split, the number of shares you hold increases while the price per share adjusts proportionally. However, the updated quantity and price will only reflect in your FYERS Demat account after the exchange completes the corporate action.
Stock split credit timeline
Stock split shares typically reflect in your Demat account within 1–2 working days after the record date. Until then, you may notice changes in your Notional P&L, but this will self-correct once the split shares are credited.
Example
Let’s say A Ltd. announces a stock split in a 5:1 ratio, meaning each existing share is split into 5 new shares.
- Anirban, a FYERS client, holds 100 shares of A Ltd. at ₹1,000 each.
- Post-split, Anirban will hold 500 shares priced at ₹200 each (₹1,000 ÷ 5).
- If the record date is 29th December, the updated quantity will reflect in his Demat by 1–2 working days after that.
ISIN change after split
Unlike bonus issues, a stock split usually results in a change to the stock’s ISIN (International Securities Identification Number).
Example:
| Particulars | ISIN | Date |
|---|
| Old ISIN | INE335Y01012 | Till 28th Oct 2021 |
| New ISIN | INE335Y01020 | From 29th Oct 2021 |
What If...
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| I don’t see new shares right after the record date | It can take up to 1–2 working days to reflect. Check again after the timeline. |
| My Notional P&L dropped suddenly | This is normal during stock split processing and will adjust once shares are updated. |
| The ISIN of my stock changed | This is standard in stock splits. Check the updated ISIN under your holdings. |
Stock splits are processed automatically. No action is required on your part. You can monitor your Holdings tab for the updated share count and ISIN after the credit timeline.
