Record and ex-date 7 Oct. Last day to buy: today, 6 Oct. GTV Engineering 2:1 bonus, PH Capital 10:1 bonus, PTC India Rs 5.50 final dividend (pay 30 Oct).
Quick Answer
Bonus stocks and a dividend stock share a record date of Wednesday, 7 October, and under T+1 settlement the ex-date is the same day, which makes today, Tuesday 6 October, the last day to buy to be eligible. GTV Engineering is giving a 2:1 bonus, PH Capital a 10:1 bonus and PTC India a Rs 5.50 final dividend, with PTC’s payment expected on 30 October and a yield of about 3.5% for this payout on a price near Rs 155, my calculation. A bonus adds shares but does not add value, so GTV’s Rs 68.77 price would adjust to about Rs 22.92 and a PH Capital share would fall to about one-eleventh of its price, leaving holding value unchanged. Avoid buying only for the bonus or dividend, because the price adjusts on the ex-date and these are small, volatile stocks.
Bonus stocks are in focus today because Tuesday, 6 October is the last chance to buy GTV Engineering, PH Capital and PTC India for eligibility ahead of their record dates on 7 October. A purchase on 7 October settles after the record date, so it does not qualify.

GTV Engineering 2:1 Bonus: Ratio and Share Count Among Bonus Stocks
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Ratio | 2:1, so two bonus shares for every one share held |
| Shares after the bonus | Three for every one held, so holdings triple |
| Price on 1 October | Rs 68.77 |
| Illustrative ex-bonus price | About Rs 22.92, which is Rs 68.77 divided by three |
| Announced | 14 August 2026 |
The 100 shares you hold before the ex-date become 300 after the bonus, but the price falls to about a third, so the value stays near Rs 6,877 on the 1 October price. The adjusted price is my arithmetic for these bonus stocks and the actual ex-date price will depend on trading.
PH Capital 10:1 Bonus: A Very Large Ratio Among Bonus Stocks
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Ratio | 10:1, so ten bonus shares for every share held |
| Existing shares | 30,00,100 |
| Bonus shares to be issued | 3,00,01,000 |
| Shares after the bonus | Eleven for every one held, about 3.3 crore in total |
| Face value | Rs 10 |
| Record and ex-date | 7 October; deemed allotment on 8 October and trading of new shares from 9 October |
| Latest results | A Q1 FY27 loss of about Rs 29 lakh |
A 10:1 bonus multiplies the share count by eleven, so the price should adjust to about one-eleventh. The company reported a small loss in Q1, and a large bonus on a thinly traded stock, like many bonus stocks, can create sharp price moves around the ex-date, which carries risk.
PTC India Rs 5.50 Dividend: Yield and Payment
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dividend | Final dividend of Rs 5.50 per share |
| Record and ex-date | 7 October |
| Payment date | 30 October, per one data provider |
| Yield on this payout | About 3.5% on a price near Rs 155, my calculation from a provider’s implied price |
| Annual payout reported | About Rs 31.50 per share, a yield of about 20% including interim payouts |
The 20% annual figure reflects large interim payments earlier in the year and may not repeat, so the Rs 5.50 final payout is the number to use for this record date. A dividend of Rs 5.50 on 100 shares is Rs 550 before tax.

Should You Buy Bonus Stocks Only for the Bonus?
- The price adjusts: on the ex-date the share price drops in proportion to the bonus ratio.
- Value does not change: your holding value is the same before and after the bonus, apart from market moves.
- Bonus stocks can rally before and fall after: price run-ups before the record date often fade.
- Liquidity matters: small stocks like these can gap sharply, so exits may be hard.
- Fundamentals matter more: look at earnings, debt and cash flow, not the ratio.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Last day to buy | Buy these bonus stocks by 6 October to be on the 7 October register |
| Demat account | Shares must be credited to your demat account by the record date |
| Selling before ex-date | If you sell before the ex-date, you lose the entitlement |
| Tax on dividends | Dividends are taxable in your hands, and tax may be deducted at source above applicable limits |
Risks of Chasing Bonus Stocks and Dividend Stocks
Price adjustment: A bonus or dividend lowers the share price on the ex-date, so bonus stocks offer no free gain.
Pump and fade: Bonus stocks can spike before the record date and then drop.
Small-cap volatility: GTV Engineering and PH Capital are small, volatile bonus stocks with thin trading.
Weak fundamentals: PH Capital reported a Q1 loss, so a big ratio is not a quality signal.
Tax and costs: Dividends are taxed and trading costs reduce small gains.
What to Watch After the Record Date for Bonus Stocks
- The ex-date prices of GTV Engineering, PH Capital and PTC India on 7 October.
- Credit of bonus shares to demat accounts, with PH Capital’s new shares trading from 9 October.
- PTC India’s dividend payment on or around 30 October.
- Whether volumes and prices stabilise after the adjustment.
- Upcoming ex-dates, including a stock split from Shankara Buildpro on 8 October.
Conclusion
These bonus stocks and the PTC India dividend have a record date of 7 October, so 6 October is the last day to buy for eligibility. GTV Engineering offers a 2:1 bonus, PH Capital a 10:1 bonus and PTC India a Rs 5.50 dividend with a yield near 3.5% for this payout.
