Returns from investments in shares or stock market come in two forms- capital appreciation and dividends. Capital appreciation takes place when there is and increase in the price of your shares. For example, if you buy 100 shares of XYZ Ltd. Rs. 1,000 and later sell them for Rs. 1,800, there is a capital appreciation of Rs. 800 or 80 per cent. This is also referred to as capital gains or capital appreciation.
When you invest in shares, your capital grows quickly-much faster than in most other forms of investment. Sometimes the growth can be spectacular, going even as high as 1,000 per cent per annum. People are attracted to shares precisely because they offer exciting possibilities of getting rich.

Investments in shares not only give capital appreciation, it also gives income in the form of dividends. Dividend is the amount that a company distributed every year to its shareholders out of the profits it earns. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the face value of the share, or in rupees per share. To get a clear idea of what dividend means, let us assume that you own 100 equity shares of face value of Rs. 10 each in XYZ Ltd. Now if the company declares a dividend of 20 per cent or Rs. 2 per share, you will get a dividend of Rs. 200. It is not necessary for a company to declare a dividend every year. Company’s Watchmaker losses usually skip the payment of dividends. However, most profit-earning companies usually give an annual dividend to their shareholders. Some companies even split this annual dividend into two installments, called interim dividend and final dividend. Most Indian companies usually give dividends ranging from 10 per cent to 30 per cent. It all depends upon the amount of profits the company earns, and the policy adopted by its management on how much of these profits it can afford to distribute to its shareholders

As a rule-of-thumb, the amount you are likely to get as dividends every years will normally be around 1 to 2 per cent of the market value of your shares. For example, if you have shares in various companies whose current market value is Rs. 50,000 then you can expect around Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000 as the total dividend from these companies. This is a useful rule to remember. It comes in handy when you want to make a quick mental calculation on how much income you are likely to get by way of dividends on your stock market investments.
