Dear Investors,
We would like to inform you about a corporate action announced by HDFC Asset Management Company Limited (HDFC AMC) regarding a bonus issue of equity shares. Below are the key details and implications for shareholders.
HDFC Asset Management Company recently reported a 24 per cent jump in PAT to Rs 718.43 crore for the three months ended September 2025.
Corporate Action Details
Type of Corporate Action: Bonus Issue
Bonus Ratio: 1:1
(Issue of 1 bonus equity share for every 1 existing fully paid-up equity share held).
Record Date: 26 November 2025
(shareholders on the register as of this date will be eligible).
Eligibility: Shareholders holding HDFC AMC shares in their demat account as of the record date (26 Nov 2025).
| Before Bonus | After Bonus (1:1) | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of shares | 100 | 200 |
| Market price (theoretical, approx.) | ₹5,600 | ₹2,800.00 |
Note: The stock price is expected to adjust approximately in proportion to the bonus ratio. While the number of shares increases, your total investment value remains the same initially.
(Illustration uses an assumed market price for demonstration — actual market price will be set by market forces.)
Credit Timeline
Bonus shares are usually added to a shareholder’s demat account within two trading days (T+2) after the record date. Shareholders receive a credit alert from CDSL once this is done. At first, the shares are assigned a temporary ISIN and cannot be traded. After the company obtains trading approval—typically within four to five days—the shares are moved to a permanent ISIN and become eligible for trading. They will start appearing in your 5paisa account once this entire process is completed.
Portfolio Impact
- Bonus shares will be automatically credited to your demat account if you are eligible; no action is required from your side.
- Your share quantity will increase (doubles in a 1:1), and the market price per share is expected to adjust downward proportionally.
- This corporate action is neutral in terms of immediate investment value (market cap remains broadly unchanged).
- Your 5paisa portfolio will reflect updated holdings and the adjusted average cost once credits/listing are completed and the exchange confirms the allotment.
Impact on Cost Price
- Cost of acquisition for bonus shares: Bonus shares are generally regarded as having zero cost of acquisition at the time of allotment. Tax implications arise when you sell the bonus shares (capital gains rules apply). This is general guidance only — please consult your tax advisor or chartered accountant for personalised tax treatment.
Quick Checklist for Shareholders
- Ensure your HDFC AMC shares are in your demat account and KYC/PAN details are up to date as of 26 Nov 2025.
- If you sell your shares before the record date, the buyer will get the bonus entitlement — plan trades accordingly.
- Watch company / BSE / NSE announcements for final allotment/dispatch confirmation and for the exact ex-bonus trading date.
- For tax-specific questions, consult a tax professional.
Happy Investing,
