For investors tracking dividend-paying companies, three high-quality, high-visibility stocks, IRCTC, MRF, and Oil India, are set to trade ex-dividend today. The ex-dividend date determines which shareholders are eligible to receive the latest interim dividend payout, while the record date finalises the company's books for processing these payments. It is also the cutoff date after which new buyers will NOT receive the upcoming dividend. Investors must purchase the stock before the ex-date to qualify. On the ex-dividend day, share prices often adjust downward, which is a natural market reaction.

This week, the stock market has seen a strong surge, with Nifty creating a new record on Thursday. Sensex on the previous day closed at 85,632.68, and Nifty ended at 26,192.15, gaining 0.54%.
Below are the three stocks going ex-dividend on November 21, along with their dividend details:
1. IRCTC Dividend 2025: Rs. 5 Interim Dividend
The IRCTC share will trade ex-dividend tomorrow, as the company has announced an interim dividend of Rs. 5 per share. The record date to determine eligible shareholders has been fixed as November 21.
On Thursday, the IRCTC share price closed at Rs. 703.85, down 0.16%, showing marginal volatility ahead of the dividend cutoff.
2. MRF Dividend 2025: Rs. 3 Interim Dividend
Tyre major MRF Ltd has declared an interim dividend of Rs. 3 per share on its Rs. 10 face-value equity shares. Both the ex-date and record date are scheduled for November 21, meaning only investors holding MRF stock by tomorrow will receive the payout.
On Thursday, the MRF share price closed at Rs. 152,395, slipping 0.63% amid overall market profit-booking.
3. Oil India Dividend 2025: Rs. 3.50 Interim Dividend
Oil India has announced an interim dividend of Rs. 3.50 per share (35% of paid-up capital) for FY 2025-26. The record date for determining eligible shareholders is Friday, November 21, 2025, and the dividend payment will be credited on or before December 14, 2025. On Thursday, the Oil India share price ended at Rs. 436.20, down 0.15%.
