Regular dividend policy is a dividend payout policy where the company pays out a fixed amount of dividends each year. Irregular dividend policy is a dividend payout policy where the company does not pay out a fixed amount of dividends each year but instead makes it up as they go.

Dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders for the ownership of the company. The difference between regular and irregular dividend policy is that an irregular dividend policy means that the company does not pay dividends on a regular basis.

The difference between the two is that a regular dividend policy is one in which dividends are paid out regularly while an irregular dividend policy is one in which dividends are not paid out regularly. An example of a company with regular dividend policy would be General Electric, whereas an example of a company with irregular dividend policy would be Wal-Mart.
