Fresh investors can also take position into the scrip for bonus share issue provided he or she has done a thorough check on the company's fundamentals. But to be eligible for the bonus share issue the scrip need to be purchased well before the bonus ex-date and the same should reflect in the demat account of the investor as on the bonus record date.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | 100 | Rs. 75 | Rs. 7500 | 200 | 37.5 | Rs. 7500 |
| 2:1 | 100 | Rs. 75 | Rs. 7500 | 300 | 25 | Rs. 7500 |
When are bonus shares credited into the eligible investor's demat?
As and when investors' eligibility for bonus shares is ascertained, bonus shares are assigned new ISIN or International Securities Identification Number and it takes no longer than 15 days after the ISIN has been given for the demat shares to be credited.
