What happened
Roughly 40 dividend-paying companies — led by Kalyan Jewellers, Aarti Industries, Blue Jet Healthcare, Bajaj Healthcare and Apar Industries — reach their final qualifying day on September 11, 2026.
Friday, September 11, 2026 is the last trading day to buy several dividend-paying stocks and still qualify for their upcoming payouts. Under India's T+1 settlement cycle, shares bought today will be credited to demat accounts in time for record dates falling on Saturday, September 12 and Monday, September 14, 2026.
Roughly 40 companies are flagged as trading with September 11 as the final buy day; a related roundup counted 49 stocks turning ex-dividend on the day and more than 100 companies across the week. Key names include:
Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd — final dividend of Rs 2.50 per share (25% of face value), record date Saturday, September 12, 2026. The board recommended it on May 8, 2026; it is subject to shareholder approval at the 18th AGM on September 19, 2026, with payment within 30 days of approval. The register of members stays closed September 13–19, and the record date also serves as the e-voting cut-off.Aar
Under SEBI's T+1 settlement cycle, an investor must buy shares at least one trading day before the record date so the shares are credited to their demat account in time to be eligible for the corporate action. Anyone purchasing on or after the ex-dividend date — September 11 for most names here — is not entitled to the payout.
These are final dividends for FY2025-26 and remain subject to shareholder approval at the respective AGMs — a record-date qualification secures eligibility, not a guaranteed payment.
