Upcoming Stock Splits and Bonus Shares Date in 2026 – Complete NSE/BSE List
A comprehensive, regularly updated guide to all upcoming stock split record dates and bonus share issue dates in 2026 for Indian markets. Know before the ex-date — and never miss an eligibility window again.
Every year, hundreds of Indian companies announce stock splits and bonus share issues to reward loyal shareholders, improve liquidity, and attract retail investor participation. Knowing the exact record date and ex-date is critical — miss it by even one trading session, and you lose eligibility entirely.
In this article, we have compiled the most comprehensive list of upcoming stock splits and bonus shares in 2026 across NSE and BSE — including split ratios, bonus ratios, record dates, and key eligibility rules you must know.
What Are Stock Splits and Bonus Shares?
Before diving into the list, here's a quick refresher on what these corporate actions mean and why companies use them.
Stock Split
The face value of each existing share is divided into smaller units. If a ₹10 share splits 1:10, you get 10 shares of ₹1 each. Total investment value stays the same, but share count multiplies and price per share drops, improving affordability and liquidity.
Bonus Shares
Free additional shares issued to shareholders from a company's accumulated profits or reserves. In a 1:1 bonus, you get one free share for every share you hold. Total value doesn't change immediately, but it signals company confidence and often triggers price momentum.
Record Date
The date on which a company checks its shareholder registry to determine who qualifies for the split or bonus. You must hold shares in your demat account on this date to be eligible.
Ex-Date
Under India's T+1 settlement cycle, the ex-date is typically 1 day before the record date. If you buy shares on or after the ex-date, you won't be eligible. Buy at least 1 trading day before the record date.
⚠️ Important Rule for Indian Investors: Under the T+1 settlement system active on Indian exchanges, shares you buy today are credited to your demat account by the next trading day. This means you must purchase shares at least 1 trading day before the record date to qualify for a stock split or bonus issue.

These are the companies that have announced or confirmed bonus share issues in 2026. The bonus ratio tells you how many free shares you receive per share held on the record date.
| Company | Bonus Ratio | Free Shares Per | Record Date | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-1 Limited | 3:1 | 3 shares per 1 held | Dec 31, 2025 | Bonus + Split |

✅ Pro Tip: Companies like Dev Labtech Venture announced both a 1:2 stock split AND a 1:1 bonus issue simultaneously with May 15, 2026 as the record date. If you held 1,000 shares, post-split you would have 2,000 shares, and post-bonus, an additional 2,000 shares — totalling 4,000 shares for the price of 1,000.
Spotlight: Dev Labtech Venture — Split + Bonus Combo in May 2026
One of the most notable corporate actions in May 2026 came from Dev Labtech Venture Limited, a micro-cap company dealing in lab-grown diamonds, natural polished diamonds, and laboratory chemicals. The company set May 15, 2026 as the record date for both:
- A 1:2 stock split — face value reduced from ₹10 to ₹5
- A 1:1 bonus issue — one free share for every share held
Shareholders who approved these proposals in the April 2026 postal ballot effectively saw their share count quadruple for the same total investment. The stock jumped nearly 4% on the announcement day. This kind of dual corporate action is uncommon and reflects strong management confidence in the company's outlook.
Spotlight: MCX Stock Split — January 2, 2026
Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), India's largest commodity derivatives exchange, carried out a landmark 1:5 stock split at the start of 2026. Each equity share of face value ₹10 was subdivided into 5 shares of ₹2 each, with January 2, 2026 as the record date.
The move made MCX more accessible to retail investors by significantly reducing the per-share price. MCX's split is among the most high-profile corporate actions on BSE/NSE in early 2026 and attracted significant institutional and retail attention.
How to Check If You Are Eligible for a Stock Split or Bonus Issue
Eligibility for stock splits and bonus shares in India depends entirely on whether you hold shares in your demat account on the record date. Here's a step-by-step process:
- Find the Record Date: Check the company's BSE/NSE filing or a financial portal like 5Paisa, Angel One, or Groww for the official record date announcement.
- Calculate the Buy Deadline: Under T+1 settlement, you must buy shares at least 1 full trading day before the record date. If the record date is a Friday, buy by Thursday.
- Place Your Order Before Market Hours: Buy the shares before 3:30 PM IST on the deadline day to ensure same-day execution under normal market conditions.
- Verify Your Demat Holdings: After settlement, confirm the shares appear in your demat account (CDSL/NSDL) before the record date.
- Wait for Credit: After the record date and board approval, bonus shares or split shares are typically credited to your demat account within 2–5 working days.
Tax Implications of Stock Splits and Bonus Shares in India
Understanding the tax treatment of these corporate actions is critical for investors. Here's what you need to know:
Stock Split Tax Treatment
A stock split is not a taxable event in India. The cost of acquisition of the original shares is spread across the new, higher number of shares. For example, if you bought 100 shares at ₹500 each (total ₹50,000) and the stock splits 1:5, your 500 new shares each carry a cost of ₹100. When you sell, capital gains are calculated on this adjusted cost basis.
Bonus Share Tax Treatment
Bonus shares received are not taxed at the time of allotment. However, when you sell them, the cost of acquisition is treated as zero (per Section 55 of the Income Tax Act). This means the entire sale proceeds are treated as capital gains. Short-term or long-term capital gains tax applies based on your holding period from the bonus allotment date.
📌 Key Tax Note: For bonus shares, the holding period for classifying gains as long-term (LTCG) starts from the date of allotment of bonus shares, not the original purchase date. Hold bonus shares for more than 12 months to qualify for LTCG treatment (taxed at 10% above ₹1 lakh threshold, without indexation).
Why Do Companies Announce Stock Splits and Bonus Issues?
Both actions are voluntary corporate decisions, but companies typically make them for well-defined strategic reasons:
Improve Liquidity
A lower share price post-split attracts more retail traders and increases daily trading volumes, reducing bid-ask spreads.
Reward Long-Term Investors
Bonus shares reward existing shareholders without a cash outflow, signalling that the company has strong retained earnings.
Widen Shareholder Base
Lower share prices (post-split) allow more small investors to participate, diversifying the ownership structure.
Signal Management Confidence
Bonus issues are generally seen as a positive signal — companies typically don't issue bonus shares unless they're financially healthy.
