Hi,

Whether I can see such corporate event tags below the watchlist and holding stocks in 5paisa?

Hi @sri1647 ,

Yes, we display corporate event tags in both the Watchlist and Holdings sections. You’ll see an icon with a symbol (e.g., S for Split, B for Bonus, etc.) in front of the stock whenever there’s a corporate action taking place.

When you expand the stock order form, all upcoming corporate actions for that stock will be displayed right at the top.

Attaching screenshots for your reference.

Best regards,
Palak

rather than on the stock page, if i can see the event details directly on the watchlist or holdings like my earlier screenshot, it will save some time and i can see all at a single glance.

Hi @sri1647,
We’ll definitely keep this in mind for future improvements. As shown in the first screenshot, we already have icons on the Holdings and Watchlist pages that indicate corporate actions.

Happy investing,
