Whats up with Reliance Bonus Issue and Dividend

by Shabbir Bhimani on October 8, 2009

You may be aware that Reliance Industries Ltd in the meeting held on october 7th 2009, they announced they are giving a Bonus of 1:1 and also a dividend of of Rs. 13.

Now what does all this mean.

Bonus Shares

Bonus shares are gifts from the company, where it issues free additional shares to its shareholders. So, if you own 10 shares of Reliance Industries Ltd, you get another 10 shares at no extra cost, taking your aggregate to 20.

Dividend

Dividend is something where company pays out small amount to the shareholders. So again if you own 10 shares of Reliance Industries Ltd you would get Rs 130 as a dividend.

Its more of a confidence boosters of long term shareholders of Reliance Industries Limited.

hi,
my grandad originally held 100shs of RPL, for which he recd 10 shares of RIL + bonus in 1998 1:1, the total holding aggregating to 20shs. Under the scheme of amalgamation he recd additional shs of Reliance Energy Ventures, Reliance Capital Ventures, Reliance Communication Ventures, RNRL each 20sh. Under RNRL Scheme of arrangement he recd additional 5shares of Reliance Power. A few days back he recd a letter from Reliance Infra to claim the undelivered Share certificate for Reliance Infra for 1sh, and a similar letter from Relaince cap for 1sh again. Pls help me with this trail ASAP, since i am unable to figure out how did i get these shs?

P.S : all these shares are held in physical form.

Shabbir Bhimani April 18, 2011 at 6:32 am

Ritika, you may have missed some of the shares because I don’t think trailing is important. Just get the shares what you have pending and convert them into demat form ASAP.

Hi Shabir,

I got RIL shares by RPL-RIL merger and still holding them. I heard that RIL has declared 1:1 bonus at end of 2009. So, would I be eligible for receiving this bonus shares? If yes, then when should these bonus shares will be in my demate account?, because I haven’t received those shares in my demat account.

Thanks, Shabir.

SHWETA January 13, 2010 at 10:09 am

Hi Shabbir,
I m glad people like u still exists, who helps others who are in need. May god bless such people.
The reason i m contacting u is, that my dad has some reliance shares, its an old account which doesnt have a DEMAT account, he gets his shares information at the physical address. Now we have moved to a different address from the past 10 years & we dont have the code for the shares, how can we get the code for the shares. Pls help us.

Reply

Shabbir Bhimani January 13, 2010 at 1:24 pm

Open a Demat account and they will help you convert your paper share format into Demat form. You should have the Share certificates. Also if your dad has moved ask him to see what has come to the old address and collect the papers and certificates from the old address. If no one collected anything on the old address you can contact Reliance and they will credit you the needed shares into your Demat account. BTW my Dad also had Reliance Shares in Certificate format.

I dont have investment in any of the stock you mentioned

bajaj hindusthan, cipla,3i infotech and orchid chemicals.

But I think 3i Infotech looks good.

Also regarding suzlon I am not sure you should do averaging.

Hi,

What is your call on Relaince Power? Is it worth holding? OR should I accumulate more? I already saw almost 50% loss on it.

It look like this share come further down, may be below 100! What is your opinion? Any chance to come below 100?

I wonder none of the experts were seen tracking this stock. No latest report is availble about this stock.

Reply

Shabbir Bhimani December 15, 2009 at 9:19 am

I don’t think there is any reason to invest in Reliance Power and if you hold it either come out of it or forget it for your Son because I am sure you would not be able to make anything out of it.

Look for other stock in same sector or even in other sector.

hi shabbir,
reced ur mail about ur equity ebook i still have to go through it.but i glanced through it and found that there were questions which i had always wanted to be answered.
my next query is about abg ship . i hold 200 shares. the company’s order book is going to be full in jan or feb 2010 with its own group giving it large orders, what is ur advice? should i hold on or sell them wwhenver i get profit?
another one is about dlf. i have 100 shares. should i hold on to it and if yes for how long?
will be thankful for ur advice

ABG Shipyard you should sell at whenever you get good profit. Regarding DLF on 15th there is an AGM and see what is outcome of it.

aneeta deshmukh December 9, 2009 at 3:01 pm

hi shabbir.

i have got 100 shares of adani enterprises. the rec date for bonus shares is 11 dec 2009. will the share price go up before the bonus or after the bonus? if i get decent gains then should i sell it after the bonus is declared? what would u suggest? hold them or sell them ex bonus? if i get good money before bonus and sell the shares then i can buy them when the price is slashed to half. so that will be as good as getting bonus shares.

sorry for asking too many questions the first time itself. but it is very confusing with people giving me different views. what is ur frank opinion? does the logic of buying cum bonus and selling ex bonus really work?
pls reply as the date for the issue of bonus is near.
thanx

Reply

Shabbir Bhimani December 9, 2009 at 3:49 pm

I dont track Adani Enterprise and so could not comment on the movement of its pricing.

You should sell / buy based on your investment horizon and if this was just trading I think you should sell.

Selling in ex-bonus means you have to wait for the time before you get your other shares.

Yes you can sell the shares then can buy them. No issues on that part. Its as good as bonus.

No. It works like this. You invest and sale the first investment after the ex-bonus and hold on to the second for a long period.

Yes and Dividend is paid before the bonus and so it should already be there in your bank account or if it comes through cheque it should be on your way.

Any bonus share or Dividend is based on the date when anyone holding the shares on a particular date would get them. I doubt you can get now. BTW I recommended to Buy Reliance on Sep 27th which turned to be one of my best investment in recent times. http://shabbir.in/reliance-bharti-dish-tv/
