Bonus shares are those additional shares which the company issues to its existing Issued at no additional cost to shareholders. These are part of the company’s free reserves. Benefits: Increase in liquidity: Increasing the number of shares makes trading in the market easier. Retail Participation: Due to low share price, even small investors are able to buy it. Long Term Wealth: When the share price rises again in the future, investors get multibagger returns. Important tips for investors: To get the bonus shares, it is mandatory for you to buy the shares at least a day before the record date. Since T+1 settlement is now applicable in India, if you buy shares on the record date, you will not be entitled to the bonus.
