Solution

  1. Under the depository system, the account of the investor is automatically credited in case of corporate action. So, Mr. S will get his divided through the depository in his bank account which is linked with the depository.
  2. Since Mr. S holds the shares in demat form, the bonus shares also will be received in demat form and will be directly credited to this demat A/c.
