Before announcing each dividend and in consultation with the Stock Exchange, Adani Enterprises' sets a date on which shares will be sold without entitlement to the dividend. This is known as going 'ex-dividend'. Before that date they are said to be 'cum dividend'.

If you buy shares before the ex-dividend date you are entitled to receive the dividend recently announced. If you buy on or after that date, in the ex-dividend period, that dividend is payable to the previous owner.

The dividend is paid to shareholders based on the number of shares held on the share register at the deadline ('record date'). The record date is currently two days after the ex-dividend date. If you receive a dividend having recently sold your shares and are unsure whether you are entitled to it, contact the agent who acted on your behalf in the sale. Depending on the terms of the sale, the dividend may be due to the new owner.

Dematerialisation is the process by which a client can get physical certificates converted into electronic balance

To dematerialize your holding, you should first have an account with a Depository Participant (DP) of your choice. You may then hand-over to your DP, the certificates along with the Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF). Only the securities registered in your name can be submitted for dematerialization. Your DP will then send the DRF and the certificates to SSIPL and an electronic request will also be sent through the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) or Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) network reconfirming the same. SSIPL will verify the documents and if found in order, the dematerialization request will be confirmed to NSDL/CDSL who will in turn inform your DP.

In the books of the Company, your folio with SSIPL will be debited and the account of NSDL/CDSL will be credited in respect of such dematerialized securities. NSDL/CDSL in their electronic records will credit the account of your DP. Your DP will then credit your account with the number of securities that have been dematerialized and the securities will thereafter be held in electronic form. This process would take approximately 15-20 days.

With a view to enabling the shareholders to appoint nominees for their shareholding(s), the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1999 has made provision under which a shareholder can now nominate a person in whom the share or debenture or deposit would vest with, in the event of former's death. Pursuant to this provision, the Department of Company Affairs has by Notification No GSR 23(F) dated 12th January, 1999 prescribed Form 2B for making nomination in respect of shares, pursuant to Rules 4CCC and 5D of the Companies (Central Government) General Rules and Forms, 1956.

Hence you can make a nomination by filling in and sending Form 2B singly if you are a sole holder or jointly if you are joint holders to SSIPL. After verifying your signatures your nomination would be registered and an intimation of the same would be sent to you, which you are requested to preserve to avoid any future.

Important points to note

Always include your complete address along with pin code while filling in the transfer deed/opening an account with a Depository Participant.

Keep photocopies of certificates, transfer deeds and other documents sent by post to SSIPL. In case of a loss in transit, they come handy.

One should send the share certificates along with the duly filled in and executed share transfer deed to SSIPL. The share transfer deed should bear the share transfer stamps at 0.25% of the market value on the date of execution of the transfer deed or consideration value whichever is higher. The rate per share can be picked up from any newspaper. The date for which the rate is picked up must be the same as the execution date mentioned on the transfer deed.

Electronic transactions do not attract any stamp duty. However, each Depository Participant may levy a transaction charge. The rate should be confirmed with your Depository Participant beforehand.

Please submit the certificates along with the attested copy of the Succession Certificate or Probate of Will or Letter of Administration obtained in respect of the sole holding. You are also required to submit the prescribed transmission form available with SSIPL duly completed and signed by the legal heir(s)/executor(s) whose signature(s) should be verified by his/their bank manager under his official seal stating his full name, designation with name and address of the bank.
