HDFC Bank Bonus Issue 2025: Shareholders must hurry to buy HDFC Bank’s shares to become eligible for the bonus equity issue in the ratio of 1:1. The private lender has fixed August 27 as the record date for the issue.
According to T+1 settlement, the purchase of HDFC Bank’s shares will be settled into an investor’s demat account the next day, on August 26. So the name of investors will be in the record book of the company on the record date, which is August 27.
“This has reference to our intimation dated July 19, 2025, wherein the Board of Directors of HDFC Bank Limited (“Bank”) had approved the issuance of bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1 i.e. 1 equity share for every 1 equity share held by the shareholders as on the record date i.e. August 27, 2025 (“Record Date”) and also increase in the
Authorised Share Capital of the Bank and consequential amendment to Memorandum of Association, subject to applicable approvals including from the Members of the Bank,” HDFC Bank said in the filing.
A bonus issue is when a company gives its existing shareholders additional shares for free in proportion to the number of shares they already own.
Shares of HDFC Bank were trading at Rs 1970 apiece with a gain of 0.29 per cent at noon. The scrip opened at Rs 1960 apiece, against the previous day close at Rs 1964.60 apiece.
The HDFC Bank, which has its American Depositary Shares (ADS) listed on the New York Stock Exchange, informed that it will maintain the existing conversion ratio for its ADS at one ADS representing three equity shares of Re 1 each after its recently approved bonus issue.
To reflect the bonus issue, the Bank will direct its ADS depositary, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., to increase the total number of ADS in the 1:1 ratio. This adjustment ensures that ADS holders receive the benefit of the bonus shares in line with the underlying equity shares.
