1. If a 1:1 bonus is declared, the futures price at which you entered the contract would be halved, and your position would be doubled. In the case of options, the strike price would halve, and your position would double. For an example, go to http://nseindia.com/content/circulars/cmpt6987.htm
2. Go to http://nseindia.com/content/circulars/faop6542.htm for an example
3. No change is made for dividends. However, if the dividend is more than 10% of the stock price (extra-ordinary dividend), then the contract prices are adjusted. Refer to SCI situation is 2004.
