HDFC Bank announces 1:1 bonus issue, record date set for August 27
HDFC Bank has announced a bonus issue of equity shares in the ratio of 1:1 — meaning shareholders will receive one additional fully-paid equity share of ₹1 each for every share they hold as of the record date. The bank's Board of Directors approved the bonus issue at its meeting held on July 19, 2025.
The bonus shares will be issued out of the Securities Premium Account as of June 30, 2025. The record date for determining eligibility for the bonus issue is Wednesday, August 27, 2025. The bonus shares are expected to be credited or dispatched within two months of the board's approval, on or before September 18, 2025.
Post-issue, the bank's issued, subscribed, and paid-up share capital will double from approximately ₹767 crore to over ₹1,533 crore, reflecting the increased number of equity shares.
According to the bank's filing, approximately 76.68 crore equity shares of ₹1 each will be issued as bonus shares, though the exact number may vary slightly due to stock options or restricted stock units exercised before the record date.
The bonus issue is subject to statutory and regulatory approvals, as well as shareholder approval via a postal ballot.
This move reflects HDFC Bank's confidence in its financial strength and aims to enhance liquidity and investor participation in its stock.

Last day to buy shares of Cholamandalam Investment & Finance, CG Consumer, Hero MotoCorp, and others to be eligible for dividend
This week marks an important window for investors looking to secure dividends from several prominent Indian companies. Shares of Cholamandalam Investment & Finance, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals, and Hero MotoCorp among others will trade ex-dividend this week, as per data from BSE. The ex-dividend date is the day when the stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend. Investors who purchase shares on or after the ex-dividend date are not eligible for the declared dividend, while those who own the stock before this date remain entitled to it. Here's a day-wise list of notable companies whose shares will turn ex-dividend this week: Monday, July 21, 2025 Acceleratebs India Anupam Rasayan India OCCL Orient Bell Shree Cement Thangamayil Jewellery Windlas Biotech Tuesday, July 22, 2025 Happy Forgings Hind Rectifiers Menon Pistons SIL Investments Siyaram Silk Mills Strides Pharma Science Voltamp Transformers Wires & Fabriks SA Wednesday, July 23, 2025 Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Advanced Enzyme Technologies Banswara Syntex Bhatia Communications & Retail D B Corp EL CID Investments Greaves Cotton Heritage Foods K P R Mill Mahindra Logistics Metal Coatings India NESCO Novartis India Pidilite Industries Precision Camshafts Route Mobile Sonata Software Thursday, July 24, 2025 Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Hero MotoCorp 20 Microns Birlanu Bliss GVS Pharma Fiem Industries Hatsun Agro Product IVP Paushak Privi Speciality Chemicals Radico Khaitan Sanco Trans TCPL Packaging Friday, July 25, 2025 Some of the major names: 3M India Abbott India Akzo Nobel India Arvind Divis Laboratories Fortis Healthcare GMM Pfaudler Info Edge (India) Jubilant Ingrevia KEC International Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) Lupin Nelcast Union Bank of India Zydus Lifesciences Investors aiming to receive these dividends should ensure they purchase shares at least one trading day before the ex-dividend date. This is crucial because settlement in India follows the T+1 cycle, which means shares bought on the ex-date won't reflect in your account in time to qualify. With many blue-chip and mid-cap companies declaring dividends this season, market watchers see it as an opportunity for investors to lock in steady returns.

Paytm shares in focus today after strong Q1 results; first operationally-led profit since listing
Shares of One 97 Communications Ltd, the parent of Paytm, are expected to remain in focus in today's trade after the company posted a consolidated net profit of ₹123 crore for Q1 FY26, marking its first operationally-led quarterly profit since listing. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Paytm reported a turnaround from a net loss of ₹839 crore a year ago, supported by robust lending business and tighter control on costs, particularly marketing and employee expenses. The company also delivered a positive EBITDA of ₹72 crore, compared to an EBITDA loss in both Q4 FY25 and Q1 FY25, aided by operating leverage and improved contribution margins. Revenue from operations stood at ₹1,918 crore, growing 28% year-on-year, while total income rose to ₹2,159 crore. Contribution profit grew 52% YoY to ₹1,151 crore, with contribution margins improving to 60%, up from 50% a year earlier. The number of subscription-based merchant devices hit an all-time high of 1.3 crore during the quarter, as the company optimised device costs and improved sales productivity. Paytm's financial services revenue doubled YoY to ₹561 crore, led by strong growth in merchant loans and improved collection efficiency. In comparison to Q2 FY25, where Paytm posted a net profit of ₹153 crore due to a one-time gain from selling its entertainment ticketing business, the ₹123 crore profit this quarter reflects core operational strength, as it benefited from lower ESOP charges and AI-driven efficiency gains. On July 22, Paytm shares closed 3.5% higher at ₹1,053 on the BSE. The stock's movement today will be closely watched as investors react further to the company's improved fundamentals and outlook. Paytm ended the quarter with a healthy cash balance of ₹12,872 crore, up by ₹4,764 crore over the past year, aided by monetisation of non-core assets. The company continues to focus on expanding its merchant base, digital financial services, and AI-led innovations. With its payments business stabilising and merchant loans gaining traction despite RBI's tighter rules on unsecured lending, Paytm appears to be on a path of sustainable profitability.
