ITC share price traded marginally lower on Tuesday ahead of the dividend record date tomorrow. ITC shares fell as much as 0.57% to ₹302.25 apiece on the BSE.
ITC dividend record date is set as May 27, Wednesday, to determine the eligibility of shareholders for the dividend payment.
The board of directors of cigarette maker ITC earlier this month announced a final dividend of ₹8 per equity share of face value of Re 1 each for FY26, subject to shareholders’ approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on July 23. The dividend will be paid between July 24 and July 29.
In order to be eligible for ITC dividend, investors must have the stock in their demat accounts on the record date, which is May 27. Hence, today is the last day for interested investors to buy ITC shares to be eligible for dividend payment.
According to the T+1 settlement, investors who buy ITC shares today, 26 May 2026, will likely receive them in their demat accounts by tomorrow, May 27. Hence, they will be eligible for the ITC dividend.
However, investors purchasing ITC shares on or after May 27 will not be eligible for the dividend as the stock will not be credited to their accounts by the record date.
Meanwhile, ITC’s total dividend payout for FY26 stands at ₹14.50 per share with a face value of Re 1 each. Earlier in January 2025, the FMCG company had announced an interim dividend of ₹6.50 per share.
