What is Cash dividend?

A cash dividend is a payment made from the corporation's current earnings or accumulated profits to stockholders in general. Instead of being distributed as a stock dividend or another kind of value, cash dividends are paid in cash.

Typically referred to as dividends, cash dividends are a distribution of a corporation's net income. Dividends are comparable to the draws and withdrawals made by a solo proprietor. The income statements will not include the withdrawals and dividends because they are not expenses.

You must have the stock in your demat account on the record date of the dividend issue in order to be eligible for dividends. To ensure that the stocks are delivered to your demat account by the record date, you should have purchased the stock at least one day before the ex-date.

Hence,  The last day to purchase the stock and receive the dividend is 2 business days prior to record date or the 18th. Ex date - or the very first day the stock trades without the value of the dividend - is the 19th.
