Canara Bank has made headlines by announcing a dividend of ₹4 following its fourth-quarter results, aligning with market expectations. The bank’s Board of Directors convened on May 8, 2025, to review the financial outcomes for the quarter and the full fiscal year ending March 2025 (FY25), during which they proposed this lucrative dividend for shareholders.

This translates to a ₹4 per equity share, with each share having a nominal value of ₹2. This decision reflects the bank’s strong financial performance and commitment to rewarding its shareholders.
Key Details on the Record Date
In a statement shared with the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange, Canara Bank confirmed that the record date for determining eligible shareholders for the dividend is set for Friday, June 13, 2025. This means that shareholders must ensure their names are on the bank’s register by this date to qualify for the dividend payout.

To be eligible for the dividend, investors are advised to purchase shares of Canara Bank at least one day before the record date, in line with the T+1 settlement method.
