Yes, Angel One users can participate in stock splits and bonus issues. When a company declares a stock split or bonus shares, eligible shareholders holding shares in their demat account receive additional shares automatically. You do not need to do anything extra. Just make sure you hold the shares before the record date announced by the company.

What Are Stock Splits and Bonus Shares?

A stock split means a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares to increase liquidity. For example, in a 1:2 stock split, you get 2 shares for every 1 share you own. Bonus shares are free additional shares given by the company to existing shareholders based on the shares they hold. Both increase your number of shares without extra cost.

How Can Angel One Users Participate in These Corporate Actions?

To participate, just hold the shares in your Angel One demat account before the company’s record date. The record date is the cutoff date that determines which shareholders are eligible for the stock split or bonus shares. After the record date, the company automatically credits additional shares to eligible accounts.

Do You Need to Take Any Action for Stock Splits or Bonuses?

No, you do not need to apply or pay anything. Angel One will automatically credit the additional shares to your demat account after the corporate action. Just make sure your demat account is active and shares are held before the record date to receive them.

Why Should You Care About Stock Splits and Bonuses?

Stock splits make shares more affordable and increase market liquidity. Bonus shares increase your total holdings without any investment. Both actions can increase the value of your investment over time and show that the company is performing well.
