09 November 2011 Richa can u please explain with reference to section?

As even I am confused because directors recommend DIVIDEND PER SHARE, and dividend has to be paid to every share holder as on book closure date on the basis of dividend per share declared!!

10 November 2011 Dear Ashok the Dividend is always paid for the period ended. Generally the financial year. Even if there is an increase in the Share Capital as on the date of Dividend approval it will be paid as per the date of close of financial year. However it must be noted that the same is paid to the members who have the status of member on that date on which it is approved and subject to book closure norms.

Please go through the Section 205 of the Companies Act, 1956 for any clarifications.

Kindly correct if something is remaining
