What is a stock split?
A stock split is when a company increases the number of shares by reducing the face value per share.

Who is eligible to receive the split shares?
Shareholders who hold or buy SHRIRAMFIN shares on or before the ex-date (January 09, 2025) will be eligible to receive the split shares. To qualify, the shares must be credited to your demat account by the record date (January 09, 2025).
How long does it take for the split shares to reflect?
When a stock undergoes a split, it takes up to 2-3 working days from the ex-date or record date for the new shares to be credited to the demat account. During this period, the shares may not be visible in your holdings.
The P&L may show an artificial decrease in profits or an increase in losses until the new shares are credited. This will be automatically adjusted once the shares are updated.
Can I sell my shares before the split shares are credited?
Yes, you can sell your shares even before the split shares are credited to your demat account. However, the shares sold will be adjusted for the stock split, and the remaining split shares will be credited to your account within 2-3 working days after the record date. There will be no impact on your P&L.
Impact on F&O Positions
Traders holding F&O positions in the underlying stock undergoing a stock split are not eligible for corporate action benefits directly.
However, since the stock price adjusts after the split, exchanges modify the lot size and strike prices of the contracts. These adjustments ensure that the total value of the position remains unchanged before and after the ex-date.
