RIL Bonus Share Ratio: Reliance Industries (RIL), the country's largest conglomerate run by Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani, is to make a major move to its shareholders today. RIL's board will meet today to evaluate and adopt a proposal for bonus issuing. The RIL bonus share record date and ex-date may also be declared today by the board. RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani made the announcement about bonus shares during the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) last week.
If the RIL board announces bonus shares for its investors today, it will be the company's first such corporate move in seven years.
The idea is that the total number of shares increases in a set ratio. For example, if you have 100 shares, you might get an extra 200 shares, making your total 300 shares. Even though you have more shares, the total value of your investment stays the same.
Companies give out bonus shares to attract more small investors and to increase the number of shares available. When the price per share is high, it can be hard for new investors to buy them. By increasing the number of shares, the price per share goes down, but the total value of the company stays the same.
If we consider this the RIL stocks may get cheaper after the bonus issue which encourage new retail investors to invest in the stocks of the company.

1:1 | 10 | Last closing price (Rs 3029.80) | Rs 30298 | 20 | Rs 1514.9 |
