Oil India Dividend: After 1:2 Bonus, PSU to pay dividend of Rs 3.75 per equity

State-owned Oil India Limited is all set to reward its shareholders with dividends. The PSU's Board had earlier recommended issuing bonus shares in the ratio 1:2, which means eligible shareholders received one additional share for every two Oil India stocks held.

Oil India will now distribute dividends to its eligible shareholders. To determine eligibility, the PSU has also fixed a record date and ex-date, before which shareholders must hold their shares to be eligible for the upcoming dividend.

Oil India's Board of Directors had earlier in May recommended a final dividend of Rs 3.75 per equity share for the financial year 2023-24 on the face value of Rs 10 each. This amount, post-bonus, translates to Rs 2.50 per equity share.
