When Will the Split and Bonus Shares Reflect in My Demat Account?

Stock Split: The split shares will be credited to your demat account within 2-3 working days from the record date (June 16, 2025). During this period, the shares may not be visible in your holdings. The P&L may show temporary fluctuations, which will be adjusted once the shares are updated.

Bonus Shares: The bonus shares will be credited to your demat account within T+2 days from the record date. Initially, they may appear under a temporary ISIN on Console and will take an additional 4-5 working days to be assigned a permanent ISIN. Once assigned, the shares will reflect in Kite and be available for trading.
Can I Sell My Shares Before the Split or Bonus Shares Are Credited?

Before Split Shares are Credited: Yes, you can sell your shares before the split shares are credited to your demat account.

There will be no impact on your P&L.
-
Before Bonus Shares are Credited: Yes, you can sell your shares normally before the bonus shares are credited. This will not affect your trades or P&L, as the bonus shares will be allotted based on your holdings as of the record date (June 16, 2025). The bonus shares will be credited within 2 trading days and will reflect fully after a few more days once a permanent ISIN is assigned.
