Dividends

Dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders as a reward for holding their stock. In India, dividends can be in the form of cash or additional shares. They are usually distributed out of the company's profits and are typically declared by the company's board of directors.

Bonuses

Bonus shares are additional shares given to existing shareholders free of charge, in proportion to their current holdings. This increases the total number of shares outstanding without affecting the value of the company. Bonus shares are issued as a way to reward shareholders without utilizing cash reserves.

Interest

Interest in the context of Indian stocks typically refers to the interest earned on investments such as fixed deposits, bonds, or other debt instruments. It is a return earned by investors for lending their money to the issuer of the financial instrument. The interest rate is usually predetermined and varies depending on the type of investment and prevailing market conditions.
