    2. If you buy 50 shares at 3700 and 25 shares are accepted by TCS for buyback and the remaining are sold in the open market at 4000. Profit from buyback accepted shares (Rs 800*25 = Rs 20,000) is tax-free. Profit from remaining shares (Rs 300*25 = Rs 7500 is taxable.

Buyback Ratio Calculation

The record date for the TCS Buyback is February 23, 2022.

The issue size of TCS Buyback is of 40,000,000 equity shares at ₹4500 per share aggregating upto ₹18,000.00 Crores.

The Buyback aims to :
i) Return excess cash to the shareholders.
ii) Increase shareholder's value in the long term; and
iii) Improve Return on Equity.

All the eligible Shareholders of the Company holding either Physical Shares or Demat Shares as on the Record Date can participate in the buyback offer through their Stock Broker.

The eligible shareholder holding the shares in Demat form needs to inform their broker the details of the Equity shares they wish to tender in the Buyback Offer. The shareholder needs to transfer the tendered shares to a Special account of the clearing corporation. The broker, in turn, would place an order on the stock exchange for the buyback.

The eligible shareholder holding the shares in physical form needs to approach their broker with original share certificates and supporting documents. Upon completion of document verification, the broker places an order on the stock exchange and submits the original share certificate and TRS to the registrar.

The tender form and TRS are optional in the case of Demat shares but mandatory in the case of physical shares.

The TCS Buyback offers an opportunity for the shareholders to exit their positions at a premium price. In case you stay invested you would have an increased percentage of shareholding in the company and improved earnings per share. Thus, one should understand the company fundamentals along with one's need, goals, and risk appetite to decide if one wants to stay invested or participate in the buyback offer.

you can sell buy many times....you can do anything after record date, buy more or sell etc.....whenever tender period will open then you can tender max. shares as per record date holding.
you can tender by buying again (2-3 days before tender last date, as per your broker etc) if you sold your holdings after record date.
If you added more shares after record date, then you can tender as per record date holding.
Your category (retail/general) will be decided based on your holdings on record date, no matter how many you are buying/selling/tendering after record.

If I am give one account 55 share in buyback. So is it considered as retail category?
187.1. K.Atar     Link|February 25, 2022 7:10:08 PM
Whether you offer 55 out of 68 shares or all 68 shares, you are in general category simply because that is your holding on ex/record date. Nothing can be done now.

ADMIN/ chittorgarh team , Thank you for making good FAQs

I want to Request you to please add the following FAQ since we are fresh in our minds

Question : How is the buyback price arrived at for Retail category in Buyback ?

Ans:
Till now, i am getting to see mixed responses from users, its either -
a. Max Transactions on the record date OR
b. Price at the start of the EX-Date 22nd Feb OR
c. something altogther different.

What exactly is the answer to this much sought after question, i think if we have this in black n white , it will avoid lots of confusion esp for upcoming buybacks
183.10. Team Chittorgarh.com   I Like It. 1|  Link|February 25, 2022 1:17:27 PM
Thank you Vantage for reporting the error. The error is now rectified.

Its 56 shares as per our calculation.

The information on this page and the Buyback Price Calculation & Maximum Shares for Retail Category is now updated.


183.11. Vantage     Link|February 25, 2022 1:52:44 PM

1) I see that the record date price is now changed to
from 3,571.90 -> 3,563.80 (also,its not a big change,so the number of total shares dont change)

2a)But then there is one last change which i think we should still do viz. change this line in this page itself -
"As on the Record Date, the closing price on NSE, being the Recognized Stock Exchange having the highest trading volume, was Rs 3,571.90 per Equity Share. Accordingly, all Eligible Shareholders holding not more than 56 Equity Shares as on the Record Date are classified as 'Small Shareholders' for the buyback offer."

as it mentions the older value of 3751.90.
2b) On the buyback price caluclation link , also repharsing needs to be done
"TCS shares closing price on 23 February 2022 (record date) at NSE was Rs 3,563.80 and at BSE was Rs 3565.30. Since the trading volume of TCS is higher on NSE for that day, the number of Shares as on Record Date to qualify as Small Shareholder comes to 56 shares (200,000/3571.90 with fractional value ignored)."
to mention 3,571.90 -> 3,563.80

3.Lastly and most importantly , So the definition is "
" we just take CLOSING PRICE viz 3563.80 of the scrip as on record date on an exchange that had higest volume as a definition"
