Price vs Dividends
How much of CDSL's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 5 years Central Depository Services (India) Ltd.'s quoted price moved +138.1%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +152.5% — which makes dividends 9% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | -0.7% | +0.9 pts | +0.2% | 100% |
| 3 years | +148.5% | +6.6 pts | +155.2% | 4% |
| 5 years | +138.1% | +14.3 pts | +152.5% | 9% |
“Dividends added” is in percentage points of total return, with dividends treated as reinvested at the time they were paid — which is why it compounds and grows faster than the raw cash paid out. “From dividends” is shown only where the total return was positive; against a loss it would be a share of a negative number and would mean nothing.

CDSL dividend history, year by year
Per share, by the calendar year the dividend went ex — 9 years on record.
| Year | Per share | Payments | Relative size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ₹13 | 1 | |
| 2025 | ₹13 | 1 | |
| 2024 | ₹11 | 1 | |
| 2023 | ₹8 | 1 | |

Grouped by calendar year rather than financial year, because that is how the ex-dates arrive in the data. A year with an unusually large figure often contains a special dividend rather than a raised regular one.

CDSL dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does CDSL pay?+
Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. paid ₹13 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 0.90% against the current share price. It has paid in 9 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹62 per share.
What is the dividend yield of CDSL?+
CDSL's trailing dividend yield is 0.90% — the last twelve months of declared dividends divided by the current share price. Yield moves inversely with the price, so a falling share price raises the yield without the company paying a rupee more. That is why the payout record below matters more than the headline number.
Has CDSL paid dividends consistently?+
Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. has paid in 8 consecutive years, counting back from the last complete calendar year. A streak is a better guide to a company's intent than a single year's yield, which can be inflated by a one-off special dividend. It is still a record of the past — a payout can be cut at any time, and several long-running Indian payers have done exactly that.
How much of CDSL's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 5 years CDSL's share price moved +138.1% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +152.5% — so dividends account for about 9% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did CDSL last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-07-17, at ₹13 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹13 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
