Infosys Dividend Record Date: Payout History
Twice a year, around results season, the same question returns: what is the Infosys dividend record date, and by when do shares have to be sitting in the demat account to qualify for the payout? The question matters more than it used to, because the settlement rules changed underneath it. Since Indian equities completed the move to T+1 settlement in January 2023, the ex-date and the record date fall on the same day for NSE corporate actions. A purchase made on the record date itself settles one day too late, and the dividend goes to the seller.
This page does two things. It lists every Infosys record date and per-share amount from FY2023 through FY2026, taken from the company’s own results announcements, and it explains the mechanics that decide who actually receives the money.
Research date: All dividend figures and dates below are as published in Infosys’s quarterly and annual results press releases, filed with the stock exchanges and reproduced in the company’s filings with the US SEC, checked on 22 August 2026. Nothing here is a forecast of the next dividend.
Verified record dates and amounts, FY2023 to FY2026
Every row below comes from the dividend-information section of an Infosys results press release. Where a date could not be corroborated in a company filing, the row is omitted rather than estimated.
| Fiscal year | Dividend | Per share | Record date | Payment date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Final | ₹25.00 | 10 June 2026 | 25 June 2026 |
| FY2026 | Interim | ₹23.00 | 27 October 2025 | 7 November 2025 |
| FY2025 | Final | ₹22.00 | 30 May 2025 | 30 June 2025 |
| FY2025 | Interim | ₹21.00 | 29 October 2024 | 8 November 2024 |
| FY2024 | Final + special | ₹20.00 + ₹8.00 | 31 May 2024 | 1 July 2024 |
| FY2024 | Interim | ₹18.00 | 25 October 2023 | 6 November 2023 |
| FY2023 | Final | ₹17.50 | 2 June 2023 | 3 July 2023 |
| FY2023 | Interim | ₹16.50 | 28 October 2022 | 10 November 2022 |
Per the company’s April 2026 results filing, the ₹25 final dividend for FY2026 carried a record date of 10 June 2026, was approved by shareholders at the AGM on 23 June 2026, and was paid on 25 June 2026. That is the most recent completed payout as of the research date. The FY2024 row includes a one-off special dividend of ₹8 alongside the ₹20 final; both shared the single record date of 31 May 2024.
For the definitions behind these columns — record date, ex-date, cum date and why they differ from the payment date — the explainer on what a dividend record date is covers the mechanics for any NSE stock. This page applies them to one company.
The two-payout rhythm
The table shows a pattern that has held across all four years, and the company’s own announcements explain it. Infosys announces its interim dividend with the July–September quarter results in mid-October: the board meetings of 16 October 2025, 17 October 2024 and 12 October 2023 each declared the interim payout on results day. The final dividend is recommended with the January–March results in April — 18 April 2024 and 17 April 2025, per the exchange filings — and then waits for shareholder approval at the June AGM.
The rhythm follows from the company’s stated capital-return policy. As published in its results filings, Infosys expects to return approximately 85% of free cash flow cumulatively over a five-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends and/or buybacks or special dividends, and expects to progressively increase its annual dividend per share, excluding any special dividend. “Semi-annual” is the reason there are two record dates a year; “progressively increase” is visible in the interim column rising from ₹16.50 to ₹23 over four years. A policy is a stated intention, not a guarantee — the board decides each payout afresh.
Why the final dividend takes longer to arrive
Look at the gap between record date and payment date in each row. The interim dividends were paid roughly ten days after their record dates. The final dividends took about a month. That difference is company law, not administrative slowness.
An interim dividend is declared by the board alone and becomes a liability on the date of declaration, so payment can follow quickly. A final dividend is only a recommendation until shareholders approve it at the AGM — Infosys’s filings state that the final dividend is recorded as a liability on the date of shareholder approval. The record date can therefore sit weeks before the cash moves: for FY2026, eligibility was fixed on 10 June, the AGM approved the payout on 23 June, and payment followed on 25 June. A holder who sold between the record date and the payment date still received the dividend, because eligibility was already locked on the record date.
Ex-date and record date are now the same day
Under the old T+2 settlement cycle, the ex-date fell one trading day before the record date, and a generation of investors learned the rule “buy before the ex-date, which is the day before the record date.” Half of that rule is now stale. With T+1 settlement — fully in force for Indian large caps since 27 January 2023 — NSE sets the ex-date and the record date on the same day, because a trade done one day before the record date settles exactly on it.
Applied to the most recent payout: the record date was Wednesday, 10 June 2026, so 10 June was also the ex-date, and only purchases completed by Tuesday, 9 June settled in time to qualify. A buyer on the morning of 10 June paid a price that had already adjusted for the ₹25 leaving the company, and received no dividend. The one row in the table that predates the full T+1 transition is the October 2022 interim; its ex-date fell before the 28 October record date under the old cycle, which is why older articles describe a one-day gap that no longer exists.
The price adjustment on the ex-date is also why “buying for the dividend” is not the free income it appears to be: the payout is generally reflected in the opening price, and tax and transaction costs apply on top. The record-date explainer works through that arithmetic.
Reading the totals without misreading FY2025
Summing the rows gives ₹34 for FY2023, ₹46 for FY2024, ₹43 for FY2025 and ₹48 for FY2026. On that raw series, FY2025 looks like a dividend cut. It was not. The FY2024 total included the one-off ₹8 special dividend; the recurring payout was ₹38. Strip the special out and the regular dividend rose every year: ₹34, ₹38, ₹43, ₹48. This is the practical reason the company’s policy language excludes special dividends from the “progressively increase” commitment, and it is a live example of why a special payout is best kept separate before comparing years — a trap covered at length in Gale’s guide to high-paying dividend stocks in India.
Dividend history also says nothing by itself about whether the shares are attractively priced. Gale’s separate research on Infosys’s business and valuation covers that question; its scenarios are illustrations, not a promise of future payouts or prices.
Tracking the next record date without guessing
This article deliberately stops at the last completed payout. As of 22 August 2026, Infosys has not announced its next dividend, and the four-year pattern above — an interim declared with October results — is history, not a schedule the company is bound to.
When the next announcement comes, it will appear the same way the previous eight did: as a board-meeting outcome filed with the exchanges, then as a record date on NSE’s corporate-actions portal. Gale’s dividend record-date calendar tracks upcoming NSE record dates across companies and is updated daily from NSE’s published corporate-action feed, which makes it the faster way to catch the date once it is official.
FAQ
What was the last Infosys dividend record date?
10 June 2026, for the ₹25 final dividend of FY2026, per the company’s April 2026 results filing. The dividend was approved at the AGM on 23 June 2026 and paid on 25 June 2026.
Is the Infosys ex-date the same as the record date?
Yes, since the T+1 settlement cycle took full effect in January 2023, NSE sets both on the same day. Shares bought on the ex-date itself settle a day after the record date and do not qualify; only purchases made at least one trading day earlier carry the entitlement.
When does Infosys usually announce dividends?
In each of FY2023 through FY2026, the company declared an interim dividend with its July–September results in mid-October and recommended a final dividend with its January–March results in April, per its exchange filings. That is the historical pattern, not a commitment — each dividend requires a fresh board decision, and the final also requires AGM approval.
How much dividend did Infosys pay for FY2026?
₹48 per share in total: an interim of ₹23 with record date 27 October 2025, paid 7 November 2025, and a final of ₹25 with record date 10 June 2026, paid 25 June 2026, as published in the company’s results announcements.
