What was filed
Federal Bank has told the NSE and BSE that it has fixed a record date for its final dividend for the financial year ended 31 March 2026. Under Regulation 42 of the SEBI LODR Regulations, the record date determines which shareholders are on the register and therefore eligible to receive the dividend.
Recommended, not yet declared
The filing is explicit that the dividend has been recommended by the Board of Directors but is not yet declared — it becomes payable only if declared at the AGM. The record date has been set ahead of that shareholder vote. The filing does not state a dividend amount per share, the AGM date, or a payment date.
Why a holder would note it
The record date is the administrative cutoff for eligibility: shareholders on the books on that date stand to receive the final dividend once, and if, it is approved at the AGM. This is a procedural intimation rather than a statement of the dividend quantum or of financial performance.
