A corporate action is a change or event that a company makes which affects its shareholders. These actions can include things like giving out dividends, splitting shares, merging with another company, or offering more shares to buy. Some actions happen automatically, while others may require you to choose what you want to do.
You can track corporate actions for NSE and BSE listed companies on their official websites:
NSE (National Stock Exchange):

Both websites provide details like dividends, stock splits, bonus issues, rights issues, and more.

A fractional share is a portion of a stock that is less than one full share and is typically a result of corporate actions such as stock splits or bonus shares. You cannot trade fractional shares in the market and cannot buy or sell them.
Stock splits and Bonus shares
If you hold 15 shares of XYZ Ltd. and the company announces a 5-for-4 stock split, the mathematical calculation shows 18.75 shares. Since fractional shares are not permitted, the exchange adjusts the entitlement and credits only whole shares—typically 19 shares. No fractional or partial shares are credited to clients.
For Stock Splits:
• In India, stock splits NEVER create fractional shares.
• The exchange (NSE/BSE) adjusts quantities so that only whole shares are credited.
• If the split mathematically results in a fractional quantity, the exchange rounds it off, and the broker credits only whole units to clients.
✔ So rounding is done at the exchange level, not by brokers.
✔ Brokers only pass whatever the exchange gives.
For Bonus Shares:
Bonus issues can create fractional entitlements.
Example: You hold 7 shares, and the company announces a 1:3 bonus → you should get 2.33 shares.
But the company cannot issue fractional shares.
What happens to the fractional part?
• Exchange does not credit fractional units.
• The company appoints a trustee who:
• Collects all fractional entitlements,
• Sells them in the market,
• Distributes the cash equivalent to shareholders.
✔ You get cash value, not fractional shares.
✔ No rounding up or down of units to the client.
No, fractional shares cannot be sold by individual investors in India, because:
• Indian stock exchanges do not support trading fractional shares.
• CDSL and NSDL (depositories) only allow whole-number share holdings.
• Brokers cannot place buy/sell orders for fractions (like 0.25, 0.5, or 0.75 shares).
