Who is eligible to receive the split shares?
Shareholders who hold or purchase shares of Virat Leasing Limited on or before the cum-date (May 15, 2025) will be eligible to receive the split shares. To qualify, the shares must be credited to your demat account by the record date (May 16, 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.
