Shares of Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. will be of interest on Tuesday, as the day marks the last session for investors to buy shares to qualify for receiving the dividend before the stock goes ex/record-date.
The record date determines the eligible shareholders who will receive the dividend payment. The ex-dividend date, which mostly coincides with the record date, marks when the share price adjusts to reflect the upcoming payout.
TCS’s board announced a final dividend of Rs 30 per share for financial year 2025. The record date to determine the shareholders eligible for the dividend payout has been fixed as June 4.
The dividend will be paid on and from June 24, 2025, to those shareholders whose names appear in the register of members of the company as on the record date.
The total amount to be disbursed as dividend is around Rs 10,854 crore.
In total, including the interim dividend of Rs 10 announced in July and October, special dividend of Rs 66 announced in January along with an interim dividend of Rs 10, the company has issued dividend worth Rs 126 in this financial year.

Given India’s T+1 settlement cycle, shares purchased on the record date (June 4 in this case) will not be eligible for the dividend payment. Therefore, investors who own shares by June 3 will be the beneficiaries.
