Big News For Kotak Mahindra Bank Shareholders! Stock Split Record Date Announced; Are You Eligible?

The announcement of a significant corporate action by Kotak Mahindra Bank has drawn interest from the market watchers. In an effort to increase liquidity and boost retail participation, the private sector lender has set a record date for the subdivision or 1:5 stock split of its equity shares. The notification states that one equity share with a face value of Rs 5 will be split into five equity shares, each worth Rs 1, without affecting the total amount of investments made by shareholders.

Kotak Mahindra Bank Stock Split Record Date

"We refer to our intimation dated November 21, 2025 in connection with the sub-division of existing equity shares of the Bank and wish to inform you pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulations, 2015 that the Bank has fixed Wednesday, January 14, 2026 as the 'Record Date' to determine the eligible equity shareholders of the Bank whose equity shares will be sub-divided," said the bank in a stock exchange filing.

The above-stated record date has been announced for the purpose of sub-division (split) of 1 existing equity share of the bank having a face value of Rs. 5/- each, fully paid-up, into 5 equity shares of the bank having a face value of Re. 1/- each, fully paid-up.

Notice For The Shareholders

For those who still hold their original shares in physical paper form, there are important changes to how these new shares will be managed.

Kotak Mahindra Bank would no longer issue physical certificates for the split shares in compliance with SEBI standards; instead, they will only be issued and kept in dematerialized (demat) form. The new split shares will be held in a "Demat Suspense Escrow Pool Account," and earlier physical certificates will be deemed void and automatically cancelled if shares are still in physical form by the record date.

The bank recommends physical shareholders to transfer their holdings into a demat account prior to the January 14 record date in order to facilitate a seamless transition and direct credit of these new shares.

In accordance with the most recent SEBI regulations, shareholders are also advised to update their PAN, contact information, bank details, and specimen signatures. You can contact KFin Technologies Limited, the bank's Registrar and Transfer Agent, via their Hyderabad office or a dedicated email if you require help with this procedure or have concerns about your specific folio.

Kotak Mahindra Bank Target Price

"Kotak Mahindra Bank is trading in a steady upward structure, holding comfortably above its key short-term support zone. The stock is showing signs of accumulation on dips, with price sustaining above important moving averages. Momentum indicators remain neutral-to-positive, suggesting scope for gradual upside. A sustained move above ₹2,230-2,240 can strengthen bullish momentum further," commented technical analyst Riyank Arora of Mehta Equities.
