RBL Bank, a private sector lender, has fixed Friday, August 14, 2026, as the record date for determining the shareholders eligible to receive the final dividend of ₹1 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.
The bank had announced the final dividend along with its Q4 FY26 results. If approved by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), the dividend will be paid to eligible shareholders on or before October 1, 2026.
Investors seeking to qualify for the dividend must purchase the shares before the ex-dividend date. Under India's T+1 settlement cycle, investors buying the stock on or after August 14 (the ex-dividend date) will not be eligible to receive the dividend.
The bank further informed investors that its 83rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.

Net advances grew 23% YoY to ₹1,16,223 crore, with the retail-to-wholesale mix at 55:45. Retail advances increased 13% YoY to ₹64,196 crore, driven by an 18% growth in secured retail loans and an 8% rise in unsecured retail advances.
