What was filed
Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) told the exchanges that its Board has fixed a record date for paying the final dividend on equity shares for the financial year 2025-26. The notice, dated 5 August 2026, was filed under Regulation 42(2) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
The condition attached
The record date is fixed, but the dividend is payable only *if declared* at the company's 72nd Annual General Meeting — it remains subject to shareholder approval. No per-share amount is stated in this filing.
Why it matters to a holder
A record date is the administrative cut-off that determines which shareholders are entitled to receive a declared dividend. This notice sets that eligibility date; the actual payout and its quantum depend on the AGM outcome, which the filing does not disclose.
