Record date, ex-date and payment date mean different things
The record date is the date PFC uses to identify the shareholders eligible for this dividend. The ex-date is the first day a new purchase does not qualify for this dividend. NSE lists 17 November 2026 as both the ex-date and the record date. The payment date is when PFC sends the money. The filing sets a payment deadline, so the money need not arrive on the record date.
Keep the two entries separate when reading the announcement. A calendar showing 17 November is identifying dividend eligibility. The company has separately stated 4 December as the latest payment date.
Why does the filing also say 41%?
PFC expresses Rs 4.10 as 41% of the share's Rs 10 face value. Face value is the nominal value stated for the share. The calculation is Rs 4.10 divided by Rs 10, multiplied by 100.
This percentage uses face value. It does not use the market price paid for a share. Reading it as a percentage of the amount spent on the shares would use a different denominator.
What PFC says about the bank credit
The filing says the dividend is subject to tax deducted at source, often shortened to TDS. This means tax is withheld when the payment is made, where applicable. It explains why the declared amount and the amount reaching a bank account can differ. The filing gives a KFin Technologies upload link for shareholders who want tax deducted at a lower rate or not at all, and says no request on this will be entertained after 17 November 2026.
Page 2 says dividend payment is through electronic modes. For shares held electronically in a demat account, PFC asks shareholders to register or update bank details with their depository participant, the organisation servicing that account. For shares held in paper form, it directs them to its registrar and transfer agent, which maintains shareholder records.
The company's board outcome contains the dividend decision on page 1 and the bank-detail instructions on page 2. The record date is not a forecast of the share price.
