A worksheet for your own dividend calendar
Ten rows, the close of the session, and the columns a dividend diary needs, left empty until you fill them from a real notice.
Build your own calendar
The table below is a worksheet: ten companies with the close of the session, and empty columns for what a diary needs. Fill them from the announcements: the amount per share, the record or book-closure date, the ex-date and the payment date.
Keeping the sheet beats trusting any page that prints a date you cannot trace to a notice.
Worksheet
The last column converts the amount you enter into a percentage of the close: amount ÷ close × 100.
| Code | Close | Amount per share | Ex-date | Payment date | Percent of close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PAKT | Rs 1,452.94 | amount ÷ 1,452.94 × 100 | |||
| NBP | Rs 175.92 | amount ÷ 175.92 × 100 | |||
| FATIMA | Rs 144.57 | amount ÷ 144.57 × 100 | |||
| EFERT | Rs 206.63 | amount ÷ 206.63 × 100 | |||
| HUBC | Rs 201.61 | amount ÷ 201.61 × 100 | |||
| POL | Rs 663.08 | amount ÷ 663.08 × 100 | |||
| ABL | Rs 172.01 | amount ÷ 172.01 × 100 | |||
| BAHL | Rs 162.24 | amount ÷ 162.24 × 100 | |||
| COLG | Rs 1,199.51 | amount ÷ 1,199.51 × 100 | |||
| ATLH | Rs 1,685.68 | amount ÷ 1,685.68 × 100 |
Checks before you trust a date
Check that the date is in the company's own notice and not a summary; that the year is the current one; that the notice is for the same class of shares; and that the amount is per share and not in total. A date copied between sites can be a year old.
If a notice says the share transfer books close, the share is on the register at the close of the day before the period starts.

Why are the columns empty?
Because filling them from anything but the company's notice would be guessing.
What is the last column?
It tells you how to turn an amount into a percent of the close.
Can I copy dates from other sites?
Only after checking them against the company's own notice.
