  • Positions will be marked-to-market on the last cum-bonus date, October 25, 2024.
  • Open positions carried forward at the daily settlement price, adjusted by the bonus ratio (1:1).
  • From October 28, 2024, daily mark-to-market settlement continues as normal.
  • The bonus adjustment factor of 2 will be applied to all cum-bonus strike prices on the ex-bonus date.
  • Positions in existing strike prices continue at new adjusted strike prices.

Example

  • For instance, if RELIANCE’s share price is ₹2400, and the futures value is ₹2403, the futures value will be adjusted to ₹1201.5 (2403 ÷ 2).
  • For instance, if the option strike price is set at ₹2400 CE/PE and the bonus adjustment factor of 2 is applied, the adjusted option strike price after the bonus would be ₹1200 CE/PE (2400 ÷ 2).

Important Points:

  • The lot size of the F&O contracts will be revised to 500.
  • If you hold equity shares of RELIANCE in your Demat account as of October 28, 2024 (ex-date), the bonus shares will be credited directly to your Demat account.
