Pidilite 1:1 Bonus Issue: Key Details and Eligibility

The 1:1 bonus issue of Pidilite implies that shareholders will receive one additional share for every share held in their demat account as of the record date. This essentially doubles the number of shares held without altering the total value of the investment, as the stock price adjusts proportionally.

For example, an investor holding 1000 shares of Pidilite as of Monday's market close would receive an additional 1000 shares, resulting in a new total of 2000 shares.

Investors who purchased Pidilite shares before or on Monday (September 22) and held them in their demat accounts at the end of that day qualified for the bonus. Any shares bought on or after Tuesday (September 23) would not be eligible for the bonus allocation.
