Hi


The dividend will be paid to the shareholders who is member on or before book closure.

Firstly decide book closure for payment of dividend.

22 November 2012 book closure date is 31/03/2012.

22 November 2012 Hi

No it will not be possible. It will be decided by Board meeting. Generally it will end as on date of AGM.

For example:

If in Board meeting dated 24.04.2012 decided to pay dividend of rs. 2 per shares at AGM.
AGM is on 20.06.2012. The The Board will decide that the "Closure of Register of member/Book closure.

It will be from 15.06.2012 to 20.06.2012 (both days inclusive) for the purpose of dividend.

23 November 2012 Sir,
Ok. WE will consider your example. Plz give your advise for the dividend paymant amount as per your dates of book closure and our authorised capital issues.

23 November 2012 Agree with Ajay ji,

However, alternatively the company may go for record date for which no compliance is to be done except board approval.


23 November 2012 The dividend shall be payable to the shareholders whose name is registered on the register of members as on the date of Record date or book closure.

Therefore the company should pay dividend on 600000 equity shares.


23 November 2012 Hi

A company may close the Register of members for the purpose of ascertaining who are eligible to receive dividend on the date of declaration of dividend. In case of the annual dividend, the persons who are members as on the date of the annual general meeting will be eligible to receive the dividend as the dividend is approved by the members on the day when annual general meeting is held.
