Zydus Wellness stock split 2026

The number of shares you receive will depend on Zydus Wellness’s announced split ratio of 5:1. In a stock split, your existing shares are divided into smaller units based on the reduced face value of 2 while maintaining the same total investment value. For example, in a 2-for-1 split, you will receive two shares for every one share you own. The total value of your holdings remains the same, but the share price adjusts according to the split ratio.

The split shares will be automatically credited to your Choice Demat account. No action is needed from your side. The process follows by Zydus Wellness announcing the stock split on 18-Sep-2025. Any existing shares will be split according to the announced split ratio of 5:1. After new shares are credited to your demat account, trading in split shares will start on the ex-split date. If you hold physical share certificates, Zydus Wellness may issue updated ones.

Registered shareholders who own the stock on or before the record date set by Zydus Wellness are eligible. Your shares should be in dematerialised form and must be fully paid up. It’s important that you should have purchased shares before the ex-split date 18-Sep-2025. If you buy shares after this date, you may not receive the split shares.

After a stock split, the new shares of Zydus Wellness can take up to two working days from the record date to be credited to your demat account. These shares will not be visible in your account during this time. You can track the status through your Choice demat account or Zydus Wellness's corporate announcements.

Long-term Capital Gains (LTCG): If shares are sold after one year, the LTCG tax rate is 12.5% on earnings exceeding ₹1.25 lakh. For more clarity consult a tax professional for details.
