Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ex dividend date is the first day on which a share trades without the right to the declared dividend, so you must buy the share before that day to receive it. Under the T+1 cycle, the ex-date and the record date fall on the same day. The share price usually drops by about the dividend amount on the ex-date, and the dividend you receive is taxed at your income slab rate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The ex-dividend date is the date every dividend investor needs to know, because it decides who gets paid and who does not. Buy a share a day too late and the dividend goes to the seller instead.<\/p>\n

This guide explains how the dividend calendar works, why the price falls on the cut-off date, how to read dividend yield and payout ratio, and how dividends are taxed in India, including the TDS rule.<\/p>\n
