Most common split ratios are 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 (marked as 2:1 or 3:1). For every share held before the split, each stockholder will have two or three shares, respectively, after the split.

Russia claims more villages, Ukraine says rebuffed attack
Russian forces said on Saturday they had captured two more villages in eastern Ukraine while Kyiv said it was pushing back a rapid Russian advance that had pierced through its defences. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency In Russia, Kursk region governor Alexander Khinshtein said a Ukrainian drone attack in the district of Rylsk had killed two people in their car -- a 52-year-old man and his 13-year-old son. The latest developments in the war came hours after US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks on ending the conflict, with few visible results. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo The Ukrainian army, smaller and less equipped than Russia's, has been on the defensive for months as Russian forces advance slowly but steadily. Russia's defence ministry said its troops had taken the village of Kolodyazi in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region and the village of Vorone in the neighbouring Dnipropetrovsk region. Live Events Kyiv and Ukrainian military analysts from the website Deepstate did not confirm the advances. Russian troops earlier this week broke through Ukrainian lines in one part of the Donetsk region near the town of Dobropillia, close to an important road connecting key cities in the area. Ukraine said it sent reinforcements and claimed Friday to have re-taken six villages. "For a second consecutive day we have been successful in extremely difficult sectors in the Dobropillia and Pokrovsk directions," Zelensky said on social media on Saturday. "The destruction of occupiers who tried to infiltrate deeper into our positions continues," he said, adding that Ukraine had also captured an "important" number of Russian POWs. Zelensky also repeated his warnings about possible further Russian attacks "in the coming days". "The Russian army may try to increase pressure and strikes against Ukrainian positions in order to create more favorable political circumstances for talks with global actors," he said. Russia has pushed into Ukrainian territory for almost 3.5 years, occupying large swathes of the east and south of the country. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, launched by Putin in February 2022, has killed thousands. Russia launched 85 attack drones and a ballistic missile at Ukraine overnight, Kyiv said Saturday, hours after the Putin-Trump talks in Alaska. The highly anticipated meeting in the remote US state ended with no breakthrough in halting Russia's more than three-year-long Ukraine invasion. Ukraine's air force said Moscow had "attacked with an Iskander-M ballistic missile and 85 Shahed-type" drones, while also attacking "frontline areas" in four regions. In its daily report, the air force said the attacks took place "on the night of August 16" and starting in the evening of August 15 -- when Putin and Trump held their negotiations. Kyiv said its air defences shot down 61 of the drones.

Congress Claims Credit For GST Reforms Plans, BJP Questions Opposition's ‘Audacity'
Congress and BJP engaged in war of words over PM Modi's announcement of next-gen GST reforms and the Opposition claimed credit for the Prime Minister's move. A war of words broke out between the BJP and the Opposition over the latter's rush to take credit for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day promise to bring next-generation GST reforms. The BJP slammed Congress for claiming credit for the proposed two-slab tax regime, down from the existing four, and reminded the party that its leader Rahul Gandhi dubbed GST as 'Gabbar Singh Tax". BJP leader Amit Malviya said that the Congress 'realises" that PM Modi's GST reforms are 'bound to succeed", therefore the party wants to 'rebrand their sabotage as support". Govt Vs Opposition Over GST 2.0 Plans This comes after government sources said that the Centre has proposed to do away with the 12% and 28% GST slabs and proposes to keep 5% and 18% tax rates. Shortly after this, Congress leaders credited Rahul Gandhi for his old tweets and videos in which he sought GST reforms, limiting the rate to 18%. 'Now these people are under so much pressure that they will now agree to everything @RahulGandhi says," Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said. अब यह लोग इतने दबाव में आ गए हैं कि अब यह @RahulGandhi की हर बात मानेंगे। — Pawan Khera 🇮🇳 (@Pawankhera) August 15, 2025 Hitting back at the Congress party, Malviya said, 'When the Modi government delivered the constitutional amendment, Congress boycotted the historic GST midnight launch in Parliament. They couldn't bear to see Modi succeed where they had failed for a decade. Rahul Gandhi chose to degrade it as 'Gabbar Singh Tax." And now Congress has the audacity to claim credit for GST reform proposals by the Modi government." If @INCIndia is so full of 'GST ideas," why did the UPA (2004–14) fail to implement GST for years?When the Modi government delivered the constitutional amendment, Congress boycotted the historic GST midnight launch in Parliament. They couldn't bear to see Modi succeed where… — Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) August 16, 2025 'The real truth is GST succeeded despite Congress opposition, not because of it. The proposed two-slab structure represents continuous improvement by a government that actually delivers. Congress realises the PM's next-generation reform proposals are popular and bound to succeed, so now they want to rebrand their sabotage as support," he added. Congress Demands Discussion Paper On GST 2.0 Congress MP Jairam Ramesh earlier said that the party had been demanding 'GST 2.0" for over a year and a half and had included it in its 2024 Lok Sabha poll manifesto. 'Over the last seven years, the spirit of GST has been vitiated by an increased number of rates and the granting of multiple exemptions. The structure also seems to have facilitated evasion. There must be a drastic reduction in the number of rates," he said. He also demanded a discussion paper on GST 2.0. 'The Indian National Congress demands an official discussion paper on GST 2.0 very soon so that there can be an informed and wider debate on this vital and pressing national issue," he said. view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: August 16, 2025, 21:13 IST News politics Congress Claims Credit For GST Reforms Plans, BJP Questions Opposition's 'Audacity' Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
