More than 150 companies, including Cochin Shipyard, KRBL, RITES, IRCTC and BEML, have set record dates for dividends and stock splits this week. Investors must hold shares in their demat accounts on the respective record dates to be eligible. The list remains tentative as more companies may announce corporate actions during the week.

On September 18, KRBL declared a final dividend of Rs 4.50 per share, RITES Rs 2.75, Ramky Infrastructure Re 1, LT Foods Re 1, PG Electroplast Rs 0.25, and Victoria Mills Rs 50. On September 21, Maharashtra Scooters leads with Rs 160 per share. On September 22, GOCL Corporation tops with Rs 30, BEML pays Rs 12.28, and IRCTC Rs 0.50. Actual payouts for most companies are scheduled between October 24 and 29.
Both sources report the same set of corporate actions as a neutral factual calendar for investors. Business Today lists only September 18 ex-dividend stocks with payout figures, while Economic Times covers the entire week ending September 25, giving each day's record dates. The difference is purely scope: Business Today focuses on a single day, Economic Times offers a fuller market calendar. Neither outlet adds political or regulatory commentary, nor do they highlight any company's governance or financial health beyond the dividend amount. Readers get a straightforward schedule of record dates and payouts, useful for portfolio planning. The list remains tentative, with more announcements expected through the week.
