What was filed
Goodluck India Limited told the exchanges that its Bonus Committee, by a resolution passed on 17 August 2026, fixed the record date for a previously announced bonus issue of equity shares. The intimation was made under Regulation 42 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
Shareholders on the company's register as on the record date will be eligible for the bonus allotment. Both the existing shares and the new bonus shares carry a face value of Rs. 2 each.
The timeline
Per the filing, the deemed date of allotment of the bonus shares is Monday, 24 August 2026 (T+1 day), in line with the SEBI circular dated 16 September 2024. The bonus shares will be available for trading on the BSE and NSE on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 (T+2 day).
The record date determines shareholder eligibility; the allotment and trading dates are the procedural steps that follow, all set out in the same intimation.
Why it matters to a holder
A bonus issue increases the number of shares a holder owns without any cash outlay, while the ratio governs how many additional fully paid-up shares each existing share attracts. The record date is the cut-off that determines who is entitled to participate, making the 21 August 2026 date the operative detail for existing shareholders tracking their eligibility.
