Reliance Industries (RIL) has set June 5 (Friday) as the record date for its final dividend of Rs 6 per share for FY26, effectively making today the last date for interested investors to buy the shares of the company to be eligible for the dividend payment.
India’s most valuable company in April had announced a dividend of Rs 6 per share for the financial year ended March 2026. As per SEBI's T+1 settlement norm, investors must buy the shares at least one trading day before the record date so that they are credited to their demat accounts by that date, making them eligible for the dividend. This makes June 4 (Thursday) the last date to buy the shares so that they are credited to the shareholders’ accounts by the record date (Friday).
Reliance Industries has declared 28 dividends over the past 25 years, and its dividend yield currently stands at 0.42%, according to Trendlyne data.
The company had paid a dividend of Rs 5.5 per equity share in August last year. Before that, it paid an interim dividend of Rs 10 per share in August 2024. Additionally, investors benefited from a 1:1 bonus issue in October 2024.
