According to an exchange filing by the company, the board has also fixed the record date for ascertaining the eligibility of shareholders for the split and bonus.

"Ascertaining the eligibility of security holders entitled for issuance of bonus equity shares of the company in the ratio of 2:1 i.e. 2 (two) equity shares for every 1 (one) equity shares having a face value of Re 1 (considering the post-sub-division/split of face value of equity shares)," the filing added.
The company has fixed September 5 as the record date for the purpose of the split and bonus, according to the company filing.
The rationale behind the split and bonus is to enhance the liquidity in the stock and make the stock price affordable to small investors. When a stock trades ex-date for split and bonus, the market price is adjusted in the declared ratio.
As a result, the total number of outstanding shares in the secondary market is increased and thus helps the company to widen its shareholders base.
Shares of Sarveshwar Foods finished nearly 5 per cent higher on Friday at Rs 130.75 apiece on BSE.
