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.

181. ValueSeeker     Link|February 24, 2022 6:09:08 PM
What is the experts' opinion?
Won't there be higher interest in tendering and hence lower AR with the crash in TCS and further uncertainties / downside potential owing to tense geopolitics?
181.1. Aaashish     Link|February 25, 2022 12:35:28 AM
definitely

AR wouldn't cross 30-40%

if the sentiments improve in a months time then it's a different matter, however, chances of that are low

was ₹ 3,750(maximum possible today)per Equity Share. Accordingly, all Eligible Shareholders holding not more than 53
Equity Shares as on the Record Date are classified as ‘Small Shareholders’ for the purpose of the buyback offer.

Dear Chittorgarh Admin and other respactive members,

1) Regarding FAQ point #3, Tax will be paid by TCS. So does that mean whatever capital gain I have, I am not liable to pay any tax.

2) If TCS will pay me amount after deducting tax ? Or they will pay me full amount according to 4500 per share.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir,

1. Yes the income from TCS buy-back shares is tax-free. So if you have bought 1 share for 3700 and TCS accepts it, the Rs 800 profit will be tax-free.

2. The price 4500 is the net price you will get for shares accepted for the buyback.

3. Gain/loss from the sell of the remaining share in the open market will be taxable as usual.

@ Sunil S
The entire process will be completed by 9 pm .If the broker runs the updation after 9 pm , you will see it. If they don't, they will do it next morning before opening of trading and you will see it. Brokers usually mention the next date but invariably do it on the same day.

Sir, Please give your opinion.

How one could hedge their MutualFund portfolio? Let's assume you've 12-15 Lakh portfolio in different schemes, and you know market is going to correct, is there any way to hedge this kind of portfolio or withdrawing is the only option??

I found on youtube that people suggest to buy NIFTY PUT options to hedge the portfolio, so if NIFTY is corrected too below your strike price, you can benefit. But I looked at the premiums and they are too high for hedging.. I just checked for the strike price 16500 and expiry-date of 31-March, the premium is 323...So it's like 50*323=16000 RS you've to pay to "secure a bit" your portfolio just for "one" month?

Please experts is there any way to get around this? Or you would suggest "averaging", I mean buy more MF units if NIFTY goes down?
