Bajaj Finance 4:1 Bonus Issue: June 13 Is the Last Date To Buy Shares And Qualify
By Shishta Dutta | Updated at: Jun 13, 2025 02:59 PM IST
Investors eyeing Bajaj Finance Ltd.’s 4:1 bonus share issue must act fast; today is the final trading session to purchase shares and be eligible for the allotment. The stock will trade ex-bonus starting the next session, in line with the upcoming record date set for June 16.
Bonus Issue
- Bajaj Finance has announced a 4:1 bonus issue, meaning four bonus shares will be allotted for every one share held
- Investors must buy shares at least one day before the record date, making June 13, 2025, the key cut-off under India’s T+1 settlement cycle
- Purchases made on the record date itself (June 16) won’t qualify for the bonus
Stock Split
- Alongside the bonus, Bajaj Finance will also implement a stock split
- Each equity share of ₹2 face value will be split into two shares of ₹1 each
- This move, along with the bonus, is designed to enhance liquidity and improve accessibility for retail investors
Key Eligibility Rule
The stock will soon turn ex-bonus, after which any purchase will not qualify for the bonus shares. Hence, today is the critical cut-off date for eligibility.
Q4 Performance Snapshot
In the March 2025 quarter, Bajaj Finance reported a 16% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit at ₹3,940 crore. Bajaj Finance’s Net Interest Income (NII) reported at ₹8,910 crore rose 21% year-over-year (YoY) from ₹7,340 crore.
How Much Will You Get?
Here’s how the bonus shares will work:
| Shares Held | Bonus Ratio | Bonus Shares Received | Total Shares Post-Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4:1 | 4 | 5 |
| 10 | 4:1 | 40 | 50 |
| 100 | 4:1 | 400 | 500 |
Note: SEBI regulations mandate that bonus shares are credited within 15 days from the record date. No additional payment is required from shareholders for the bonus shares.
With Bajaj Finance’s bonus issue nearing, investors should ensure they hold shares before the stock turns ex-bonus, which could be as early as the next trading session. The 4:1 bonus is among the most generous on Dalal Street this year and may significantly improve retail investor sentiment.
