What the dates mean
The record date is the date used to identify shareholders eligible for this dividend. The company explicitly sets that purpose in its filing. A dividend is a payment declared for shareholders. An interim dividend is one declared during the financial year.
The ex-dividend date, or ex-date, is the date from which the share trades without the right to the dividend already announced. This follows SEBI's glossary definition. For ONGC, the record date and ex-date are both 12 November. The payment window is a separate item in the company filing.
What does 160% mean in the filing?
ONGC states a face value of Rs 5 per share and a dividend of Rs 8. Face value is the share's nominal value used in this calculation. Rs 8 divided by Rs 5, multiplied by 100, gives the stated 160%. The per-share cash amount is Rs 8.
What does the NSE notice add?
NSE's 8 November notice also covers ONGC derivatives contracts. A derivative is a contract whose value depends on an underlying asset, here ONGC shares, as explained in SEBI's glossary. NSE makes these contract adjustments effective on 12 November, the same day as the dividend ex-date.
The exchange says revised contract details will be supplied one day before that effective date. The notice's table leaves the final revised prices for that later update.
For the company announcement, open item 2 on the first page of the filing. For the exchange's effective date, use the particulars table on page 1 of the NSE circular. These are separate documents covering the same dividend.
