Only those shareholders who own Anand Rathi Wealth shares in their demat accounts as on Wednesday will be eligible to receive the bonus shares. Due to SEBI’s T+1 settlement norm, investors must buy the company’s shares at least one trading day before the record date to ensure they are credited to their demat accounts by that date and thus be eligible for the corporate action. This effectively makes today the last date for investors to buy the shares of the company so that they are credited to the shareholders’ accounts by the record date (Wednesday), making them eligible for the bonus issue bonanza.

All about Anand Rathi Wealth’s bonus issue

Anand Rathi Wealth in April had announced that its board of directors approved a bonus issue of shares in the ratio of 1:1 by capitalising its reserves, along with a final dividend of Rs 7 per equity share for the financial year 2026. As part of the bonus issue, Anand Rathi Wealth will issue one new fully paid-up equity share with a face value of Rs 5 for every existing fully paid-up equity share held by the eligible shareholders as on the record date.“The bonus equity shares will be issued out of retained earnings and/or the securities premium account and/or the capital redemption reserve account of the company available as at 31st March, 2026 (free reserves). The bonus shares once allotted shall rank paripassu in all respects with the fully paid-up equity shares of the company and carry the same rights as the existing fully paid-up equity shares of the Company and not as an income or distribution in lieu of dividend,” the company said.

Anand Rathi Wealth added that Rs 41.51 crore is required to be used from its free reserves in order to implement the bonus issue. At the end of the March quarter of FY26, the company had free reserves worth more than Rs 950.22 crore. The bonus shares will be added to the demat accounts of the eligible shareholders on or before June 7.
Bonus issue consists of free shares distributed by a company from its reserves and is often seen as a sign of strong financial health and growth prospects. While the issue of bonus shares increases the total number of outstanding shares, it does not change the company’s market capitalisation. However, it can improve liquidity and affordability, allowing more investors to add shares of the company to their portfolio.
