Under India&#8217;s T+1 settlement cycle, shares bought on a given day reach your demat account the next trading day, so you must buy at least one trading day before the record date to be eligible. For Infosys, whose record date is Tuesday, 3 November 2026, that means buying by Monday, 2 November. For Colgate, with a Monday, 2 November cut-off, the purchase has to be made by Friday, 30 October, which is today.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>ex-dividend<\/strong> date is the day the stock begins trading without the right to the dividend, and in the current T+1 regime it falls on the same day as the record date for all five <strong>dividend stocks<\/strong> here. On the <strong>ex-dividend<\/strong> date the share price usually opens lower by roughly the dividend amount, so buying <strong>dividend stocks<\/strong> purely to capture a payout and sell immediately rarely works. The dividend is taxed as income at your slab rate, which is another reason the capture trade is weaker than it looks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Infosys_Interim_Dividend_Rs_26_Per_Share_Record_Date_3_November_2026\"><\/span><strong>Infosys Interim Dividend: Rs 26 Per Share, Record Date 3 November 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Infosys, the largest of the five <strong>dividend stocks<\/strong> by market value, declared an <strong>interim dividend<\/strong> of Rs 26 per share on 23 October 2026 alongside its Q2 results, up from Rs 23 a year ago and the highest interim <strong>payout<\/strong> the company has made since 2015. The record date is 3 November 2026 and the <strong>payment date<\/strong> is 11 November 2026. The dividend was announced with a Q2 FY27 consolidated net profit of Rs 7,823 crore, up 6.2% year on year, on revenue of Rs 49,244 crore, up 11%, though the company trimmed its full-year constant currency revenue growth guidance to 1% to 2%.<\/p>\n<p>At Rs 1,177.05, Infosys trades at a trailing P\/E of about 15 times and a trailing <strong>dividend yield<\/strong> of 4.19% including the Rs 25 final dividend paid in June 2026, which makes it the highest yielding large-cap IT name among Nifty 50 dividend stocks.

The dividend came with <strong>Q2 results<\/strong> that showed net sales up 12.2% to Rs 1,692 crore, the second straight quarter of double-digit domestic growth, and a net profit of Rs 342 crore.<\/p>\n<p>The stock fell about 4% after the results and was down another 2.33% at Rs 1,591.80 on 30 October, which has pushed the trailing <strong>dividend yield<\/strong> up to 3.56%, high for an FMCG name and enough to keep Colgate on lists of consumer dividend stocks. Colgate trades at about 32.5 times trailing earnings against an industry P\/E of 34.6, so the market is paying slightly less for it than for its peers despite the growth pickup.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Check the Univest Screener to compare dividend stocks by yield<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hindustan_Unilever_Interim_Dividend_Rs_19_Per_Share_Record_Date_12_November_2026\"><\/span><strong>Hindustan Unilever Interim Dividend: Rs 19 Per Share, Record Date 12 November 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hindustan Unilever declared an <strong>interim dividend<\/strong> of Rs 19 per share on 28 October 2026 with its Q2 FY27 results, unchanged from the Rs 19 interim it paid in November 2025. The record date is Thursday, 12 November 2026, the latest of the five, and the <strong>payment date<\/strong> is 25 November 2026, so <strong>shareholders<\/strong> have the longest window to qualify here. HUL&#8217;s <strong>Q2 results<\/strong> showed consolidated net profit up 4% to Rs 2,790 crore on turnover of Rs 18,071 crore, with underlying sales growth of 15%, its highest in 14 quarters, though the EBITDA margin slipped 140 basis points to 22.6%.<\/p>\n<p>At Rs 1,858.40 the stock was flat on 30 October. HUL&#8217;s trailing <strong>dividend yield<\/strong> of 2.21% includes the Rs 22 final dividend from June 2026, and the company has paid a dividend every year for more than two decades, which is why it sits on most lists of consistent <strong>dividend stocks<\/strong> even when the yield looks modest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chennai_Petroleum_Interim_Dividend_Rs_25_Per_Share_Record_Date_30_October_2026\"><\/span><strong>Chennai Petroleum Interim Dividend: Rs 25 Per Share, Record Date 30 October 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Chennai Petroleum Corporation, the smallest of these dividend stocks by market value, declared an <strong>interim dividend<\/strong> of Rs 25 per share, or 250% of the Rs 10 face value, on 22 October 2026, with the cut-off set for today, Friday, 30 October 2026, and payment on or before 21 November 2026. <strong>Shareholders<\/strong> who held the stock at the end of 29 October are eligible; anyone buying today is not.

The stronger case is to treat the five <strong>Q2 results<\/strong> announcements as a signal of cash flow health and to judge each stock on the business behind the <strong>payout<\/strong>. Infosys and HUL are steady compounders with modest growth, Colgate has just posted two quarters of double-digit sales growth, while CPCL and Coal India are high-yield cyclical names whose dividends track refining margins and coal prices. Investors who want dividend income from these dividend stocks should also look at the full-year <strong>payout<\/strong> history rather than a single quarter&#8217;s <strong>Q2 results<\/strong>.

The record dates range from 30 October 2026 for Chennai Petroleum to 12 November 2026 for HUL, and payments are scheduled between 11 November and 27 November 2026 depending on the company.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Infosys_dividend_record_date_and_payment_date_for_2026\"><\/span><strong>What is the Infosys dividend record date and payment date for 2026?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The Infosys interim dividend of Rs 26 per share has a record date of 3 November 2026 and a payment date of 11 November 2026. Investors must hold Infosys shares in their demat account on that day, which under T+1 settlement means buying by 2 November 2026. This is the highest interim dividend Infosys has declared since 2015 and is Rs 3 higher than the Rs 23 interim paid in October 2025.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_Coal_India_dividend_record_date_and_how_much_is_the_payout\"><\/span><strong>When is the Coal India dividend record date and how much is the payout?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Coal India has declared a second interim dividend of Rs 10.25 per share for FY27, with a record date of Wednesday, 4 November 2026. The payment will be made on or before 27 November 2026. At the 30 October share price of Rs 387.60, this payout alone works out to a yield of about 2.64%, and the trailing twelve-month dividend yield on Coal India is 6.73%, the highest among the five companies covered here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_HUL_interim_dividend_for_FY27_and_when_will_it_be_paid\"><\/span><strong>What is the HUL interim dividend for FY27 and when will it be paid?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Hindustan Unilever has declared an interim dividend of Rs 19 per equity share for the financial year ending 31 March 2027. The record date is Thursday, 12 November 2026, and the dividend will be paid to eligible shareholders on Wednesday, 25 November 2026. The amount is the same as the Rs 19 interim dividend HUL paid in November 2025, and it follows Q2 FY27 results in which net profit rose 4% to Rs 2,790 crore.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_record_date_for_the_Colgate-Palmolive_Rs_24_dividend\"><\/span><strong>What is the record date for the Colgate-Palmolive Rs 24 dividend?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The record date for the Colgate-Palmolive India first interim dividend of Rs 24 per share is Monday, 2 November 2026, and the payment will be made on and from 19 November 2026 to eligible shareholders. Because of T+1 settlement, shares must be bought by Friday, 30 October 2026 to be eligible.

Anyone buying on 30 October will not receive this payout. The dividend will be paid on or before 21 November 2026, and it is the third dividend CPCL has announced in 2026 after Rs 8 per share in April and Rs 54 per share in August.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_days_before_the_record_date_should_I_buy_a_stock_to_get_the_dividend\"><\/span><strong>How many days before the record date should I buy a stock to get the dividend?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> You should buy the stock at least one trading day before the record date under India&#x27;s T+1 settlement cycle, because shares bought on a given day are credited to your demat account on the next trading day. For a record date on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, the last day to buy is Monday, 2 November. If it falls on a Monday, as it does for Colgate on 2 November, the last day to buy is the previous Friday. The ex-dividend date is the same day under T+1, and dividend stocks usually open lower by the dividend amount on that date.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_of_these_dividend_stocks_has_the_highest_dividend_yield\"><\/span><strong>Which of these dividend stocks has the highest dividend yield?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Coal India has the highest dividend yield among the five dividend stocks at 6.73% on a trailing twelve-month basis, followed by Infosys at 4.19%, Chennai Petroleum at 4.10%, Colgate-Palmolive at 3.56% and Hindustan Unilever at 2.21%, all calculated at NSE prices on 30 October 2026. Looking only at the current interim payout, Coal India again leads at 2.64%, with Infosys at 2.21%, CPCL at 1.66%, Colgate at 1.51% and HUL at 1.02%.
