Corporate actions are decisions made by publicly listed companies that can have a significant impact on their shareholders. These actions are approved by the company’s Board of Directors, shareholders, or both.
Corporate actions can affect the company’s stock price, ownership structure, or financial position, and sometimes all three. The nature and type of the action determine the extent of these changes.
These are actions where investors don’t have a choice—they happen automatically, and all shareholders are affected.
These are actions where investors have a choice to participate or not.
In short, mandatory actions happen automatically for all shareholders, while voluntary actions require investors to decide if they want to participate.
After paying taxes, a company's remaining profits belong to the shareholders. The company can either keep these profits or distribute them among the shareholders, which is known as declaring a dividend. A company can declare an Interim Dividend during the year and a Final Dividend at the end of the financial year. Once declared, the company must distribute the dividend within 30 days.
A bonus issue is an alternative to a cash dividend, where a company issues additional shares (bonus shares) to its existing shareholders. The number of bonus shares each shareholder receives depends on their current shareholding.
In a stock split, the face value of existing shares is reduced in a specific ratio. Companies may split their shares if the stock price becomes too high, which can limit investor participation. After a split, the price per share decreases, increasing the stock's liquidity in the market.
Share consolidation is the opposite of a stock split. The company increases the par value of its shares in a specific ratio and reduces the number of shares accordingly. This action is taken when the share price is perceived to be too low, which can negatively affect investor perception. Post-consolidation, the share price increases, potentially improving the market’s view of the company.
Mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations are corporate actions that change a company's ownership structure. In a merger, one company absorbs another, and the acquired company ceases to exist. In an acquisition, one company buys a substantial portion of another company's stock, and both companies typically continue to exist. In a consolidation, two companies combine to form a new entity, and the original companies cease to exist.
A buyback occurs when a company repurchases its own shares using its reserves and surplus. These repurchased shares are canceled, reducing the company’s share capital. For a company to be eligible for a buyback, it must not have defaulted on payments such as interest, principal on debts, or dividends.
Delisting refers to the removal of a company's shares from a stock exchange. This can be either compulsory or voluntary. In a compulsory delisting, shares are removed due to the company’s non-compliance with regulations. In voluntary delisting, the company chooses to remove its shares from the exchange and go private.
Here's how these actions can influence investors, especially in the Indian stock market:
Dividends:
When a company pays dividends, investors receive regular income. For example, if a company declares a dividend of ₹10 per share, an investor holding 100 shares will receive ₹1,000.
Stock Splits and Bonus Issues:
These actions increase the number of shares an investor owns without changing the total value of the investment. For instance, in a 2-for-1 stock split, if you own 100 shares priced at ₹500 each, after the split, you'll have 200 shares priced at ₹250 each.
Mergers and Acquisitions:
If a company merges with another or is acquired, the stock price may change significantly. For example, if Company A acquires Company B, the share price of both companies might rise or fall, leading to potential gains or losses for investors.
Rights Issues:
When a company offers new shares to existing shareholders at a discount, it can dilute voting power. If an investor doesn't buy the new shares, their voting influence decreases. For example, if you own 5% of a company, but new shares are issued and you don't buy them, your ownership percentage and voting power may drop.
Spin-Offs:
When a company creates a new independent company from one of its divisions, investors receive shares in the new company. This allows them to diversify their investments. For example if Reliance Industries spins off its telecom business, you might end up owning shares in both Reliance and the new telecom company, each with different growth prospects.
Share Buybacks:
When a company buys back its own shares, it might signal that the management believes the stock is undervalued. For example, if TCS announces a buyback, it could indicate confidence in its future performance, which might positively impact the stock price.
Corporate actions can have a big effect on a company’s future and its stock price, so it’s important for shareholders and investors to stay updated. These actions usually need approval from the board of directors and sometimes from shareholders as well.
Corporate actions can be either mandatory or voluntary and can have positive or negative effects. Generally, actions like paying dividends, buying back shares, or other moves to increase shareholder value are seen positively, unless investors believe the company could have used its resources better. On the other hand, rights issues and liquidations are usually disliked by investors.

India is predominantly an agrarian economy, ranking second in farm production in the world. The contribution of agriculture to the GVA has decreased from 18.2% in 2014-15 to 16.5% in 2019-20.
While keeping pace with the increasing population, the growing agricultural production over the past several decades has thrown up major challenges in marketing, as well as supply, storage, and distribution. With highly fragmented markets and volatile commodity prices, it is a challenge to ensure a ‘fair’ and ‘remunerative’ price for the Indian farmer. Keeping these in mind, the government introduced several reforms. In all this, the strengthening of existing institutions in spot and derivative trade has become crucial as commodity markets do influence the lives of millions of stakeholders in the country’s diverse and large commodity ecosystem.
There is so many agri-commodities that are available for commodity trading whereas some of them are available on more than one platform. Majorly, KAPAS is the only commodity that is available for trading on both platforms i.e., NCDEX and MCX.
The National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange of India (NCDEX) is a nation-level, technology-driven online commodity Exchange with an independent Board of Directors and professional management. It is committed to providing a world-class commodity exchange platform for market participants to trade in a wide spectrum of commodity derivatives.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (MCX) is an independent commodity exchange based in India. It was established in 2003 and is based in Mumbai. It is India's largest commodity derivatives exchange. It mainly provides a platform for trading in bullion, Base Metals and Energy.
NCDEX AGRIDEX is India’s first return-based agricultural futures index which tracks the performance of the ten liquid commodities traded on the NCDEX platform. The index represents the basket of ten commodities that are selected based on the liquidity on the exchange platform. The NCDEX AGRIDEX serves as a benchmark and one can replicate the performance of the underlying commodities.
Here's the corrected version of the product specifications for the mentioned agri-commodities:
And for the new product specifications:
NOTE: The expiry of every futures contract is on the 20th of the delivery month. If the 20th happens to be a holiday, a Saturday, or a Sunday then the due date shall be the immediate preceding trading day of the Exchange, which is not a Saturday.
Indian Railway Finance Corporation known as IRFC is a finance arm of the Indian Railways. Incorporated in 1986, Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) is a public-sector enterprise that is wholly-owned by the Government of India.
The company is registered with the RBI as a systemically important NBFC and is classified under the category of an “Infrastructure Finance Company”. Its primary business is financing the acquisition of rolling stock assets, which includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example, locomotives, coaches, wagons, trucks, flats, electric multiple units, containers, cranes, trollies of all kinds and other items of rolling stock components as enumerated in the Standard Lease Agreement (collectively, “Rolling Stock Assets”), leasing of railway infrastructure assets and national projects of the Government of India (collectively, “Project Assets'') and lending to other entities under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India (“MoR”).
It follows a financial leasing model to finance rolling stock assets procurement for a lease period of 30 years. The key thing to note is in the last 30 years IRFC has zero NPA. In fiscal 2019, the actual capital expenditures by the Indian Railways were Rs. 1,334 billion, out of which, IRFC financed Rs. 525.35 bn accounting for 39.34% expenditures.
IRFC IPO is a main-board IPO of 1,782,069,000 equity shares of the face value of ₹10 aggregating up to ₹4,633.38 Crores of which Fresh Issue 11,88,04,60,000 Shares Equity Shares, aggregating up to Rs 3088.92 Crore Offer for Sale comprises: Up to 59,40,23,000 Equity Shares, aggregating up to Rs 1546.44 crore.

Tentative Time Table:
The market cap @26/share on listing day will be around 33000 crores and it is going to enter the top 100 large-cap company list. IRFC operates on a unique business model, quite contrasting to REC/PFC. Whatever price they borrow from the market, while financing to MoR, they provide it with a 40 basis point margin.
For railway companies, the margin is 150 basis points. Eyeing the budget it is expected that IRFC may get further orders from the railways as the government is planning to run 150 private trains. However, if the government doesn't fix IRFC as the only NBFC for Railways, IRFC may lose its monopoly. We recommend a "Subscribe" rating only for the long term.
"We were not taught financial literacy in school. It takes a lot of work & time to change your thinking and to become financially literate" Robert Kiyosaki.
We all sent our children to school & colleges to learn new things which make them better as per today's scenario. But we never try to go through what they are learning; are they just mugging up with the book & notes or going through any new skills, will they be able to handle any situation which demands any special skill, in Indian we generally pamper our children while they are attending school till 12th standard and then, later on, we guide them to colleges there also we help them in every aspect, like pocket money, clothing, etc.
"A normal college graduate spent 16 years gaining skills that will help them command a higher salary; yet little or no time is spent helping them save, invest, and grow their money."
In the Indian educational system, we will find all kinds of course curriculum with lots of books and references, but we never found any sort of practical training for it as in the educational system we mainly focus on marks & grades, not on skills & talents.
One of the major things which we miss in the educational system is the knowledge of Financial Literacy, Basically, it is an ability to understand and effectively use various financial skills, including personal financial management, budgeting & investing. The lack of these skills is termed financial illiteracy.
The main benefit of financial literacy is that it empowers us to make smart financial decisions. It provides the knowledge and skills we need to manage money effectively budgeting, saving, borrowing, and investing. This means that we're better equipped to reach our financial goals and achieve financial stability.
Financial literacy is important because it equips us with the knowledge & skills we need to manage money effectively. Without it, our financial decisions and the actions we take- or don't take- lack a solid foundation for success.
In Indian families decisions regarding investments & savings are generally done by senior members of the family, who are actually following the same old pattern for the same, which is not suitable as per the current demands. This is one of the major reasons why much young age person lack starting there at the early age of their job.
Organizing financial literacy drives in colleges and schools with live practical case studies & situation analysis so that they actually learn and understand about it.
Making them understand about this will help them in the early days of the job, which actually tries to control their spent over earning habits. Organizing games & quiz contest which make them take real and practical decisions for the same.
