If a company’s attrition rate is 13.6 percent, it means that out of every 100 employees, an average of about 13 employees left the company during that period. The record date is the date by which the shares of the company should be in the demat account of an investor. Only investors who hold shares till the record date get the right to dividend or other corporate benefits declared by the company.
