HDFC Bank Announces Rs 5 Special Interim Dividend, First-Ever Bonus Issue
HDFC Bank Special Interim Dividend: The record date is July 25, while the payment date is August 11, 2025.
HDFC Bank, India's largest private sector lender, on Saturday announced a special interim dividend of Rs 5 per equity for the current financial year 2025-26. The lender also announced its first-ever bonus issue of 1:1.
'A Special Interim Dividend of Rs. 5 per equity share of Re. 1/- each fully paid up (i.e. 500%), for the FY 2025-26," HDFC Bank said in a regulatory filing.
The record date for determining the eligibility of Members entitled to receive the said Special Interim Dividend is Friday, July 25, 2025. The Special Interim Dividend shall be paid to the eligible Members on Monday, August 11, 2025.
It also announced a 1:1 bonus issue.
The bank said, 'Issuance of Bonus equity shares in the proportion of 1:1 i.e. 1 (One) equity share of Re. 1/- each for every 1 (One) fully paid-up equity share of Re. 1/- each held by the Members of the Bank as on the Record Date (mentioned below)."
Shares of HDFC Bank on Friday declined by 1.56% to close at Rs 1,959 apiece on the NSE.
HDFC Bank, India's largest private sector lender, on Saturday reported a 12.24 per cent year-on-year rise in its net profit to Rs 18,155.21 crore for the first quarter ended June 2025. Its net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned and interest expended, rose 5.4% to Rs 31,439 crore in April-June, against Rs 29,839 crore in the year-ago period.
Its net profit had stood at Rs 16,174.75 crore in the corresponding period last year.
A bonus issue is when a company gives its existing shareholders free additional shares by converting its reserves into equity. In a 1:1 bonus issue, for every 1 share you already own, you get 1 extra share for free. So, if you hold 100 shares of HDFC Bank, you'll now have 200. The total value of your investment remains the same immediately after the bonus because the stock price usually adjusts in proportion to the bonus.
For investors, it doesn't mean instant profit, but it increases the number of shares they own and can improve liquidity and market participation in the long term. It also signals the company's strong confidence in its financial health.

UP: Daily wages of farm workers hiked to Rs 252, lakhs of rural workers to benefit
Lucknow: In a landmark decision that will empower and uplift agricultural workers in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath on Thursday announced a revision in the minimum wage rates. The hike in wages is set to bring a smile to the faces of lakhs of rural families as the labourers engaged in various types of agricultural activities across the state will now receive a minimum daily wage of Rs 252, or Rs 6,552 per month. The revised wage structure is set to benefit lakhs of workers involved not only in traditional farming but also in allied sectors like animal husbandry, beekeeping, and poultry farming. The increase in daily/monthly remuneration will go a great deal in bridging the gaps between rising expenses and stagnant income. It will bring greater financial security to the farmers and will enable them to have a dignified standard of living. Sharing the information about the wage hike, the Labour and Employment Department Principal Secretary M.K. Shanmuga Sundaram said that the revised minimum wage will apply to all types of farming activities across Uttar Pradesh. This includes traditional farming, mushroom cultivation, and labour involved in transporting crops to markets. It also covers allied sectors like dairy farming, animal husbandry, beekeeping, poultry farming, and all related support work. The wages can be paid in cash, partly in cash, in kind (such as farm produce), or through digital modes. In no case, the wages go less than the latest prescribed rates. Notably, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has repeatedly emphasised protecting workers' rights as a top priority for his government. Earlier, the state had registered crores of unorganised workers through the e-Shram portal and connected them to government welfare schemes. By encouraging fair wages and digital payments, the government has further underlined its commitment to prioritising farmers' welfare.
