What are Bonus Shares?
Bonus shares (also called scrip dividends or capitalisation issues) are free additional shares issued by a company to its existing shareholders. The bonus is given in a specific ratio — for example, a 1:2 bonus means you receive 1 new share for every 2 shares you currently hold.
Bonus shares do not change the total value of your investment immediately — the share price adjusts downward proportionally on the ex-date. However, they increase the number of shares you hold, improving liquidity and potentially benefiting long-term investors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ex-date for bonus shares?
The ex-date is the cut-off date to be eligible for bonus shares. You must hold shares in your demat account before the ex-date. Shares bought on or after the ex-date will not qualify for the bonus.
What is the difference between ex-date and record date?
The ex-date is typically one trading day before the record date. The record date is when the company checks its register to determine eligible shareholders. Due to T+1 settlement in India, buying before ex-date ensures your name appears on the record date.
Are bonus shares taxable in India?
Bonus shares are not taxable when received. The cost of acquisition is considered ₹0. When you sell bonus shares, the entire sale proceeds are treated as capital gains — LTCG at 12.5% if held 12+ months, or STCG at 20% if held less than 12 months.
When are bonus shares credited to my demat?
Bonus shares are typically credited to your demat account within 15 days of the record date. Your broker will notify you when the credit is complete.
