The Vedanta dividend entry on NSE and BSE specifies an interim payout of ₹5 per equity share and an October 14, 2026 record date. Both exchanges also list October 14 as the ex-date. The upcoming eligibility checkpoint is the verified development; this report does not describe a dividend already paid.
The amount is separate from the payment date
The NSE entry identifies Vedanta Limited under VEDL and the BSE entry uses security code 500295. They agree on the ₹5 amount. The reviewed BSE record leaves its actual-payment-date field blank, and this report has not independently verified a payment timetable from the issuer.

What the ₹5 figure tells a shareholder
For 100 eligible shares, the stated rate corresponds to a ₹500 gross dividend. That is CapKet’s calculation—100 × ₹5—not a confirmation of a particular shareholder’s eligibility, deductions or bank credit. A cash dividend should not be confused with new shares or a stock split.
The ex-date indicates the exchange’s treatment of the share in relation to this dividend; the record date is the shareholder-identification checkpoint. Neither is automatically the day cash reaches an account. If someone sees the date in a broker app, they should still check the separate payment communication.
What this report does not establish
No current share price has been verified for this story, so a dividend yield is not calculated. Nor does the payout alone prove that buying the share will produce a profit: the total outcome also depends on price changes and the investor’s circumstances. This is an explanation of a listed corporate action, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
