    Example:

    1. If you buy 1 share for 3700 and TCS accepts it in a buyback offer, the Rs 800 profit will be tax-free.
    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.

If closing price on record date 23rd Feb is below 4,000 then holding 50 shares also be considered as retail category? Or only 44 or below shares will be considered as retail?

If that is the case, holding 50 shares will be considered under Retail Category only.

All of those who have participated in TCS buyback

anyone hedging their bets(by selling TCS March futures, today it was available at around 3804, on monday i believe one might get around 3850 even because it's the last day and many will buy shares on 21)
121.1. Boring Investor     Link|February 19, 2022 5:58:10 PM
I have Tcs in 5 demat & now I want to hedge shares that will be free after buyback. Since I have never done option selling, so I have few queries.
Planning to Sell 3800CE March having premium around Rs. 125 (Margin required Rs. 1.20 lakh)
Scenario 1- If on Expiry TCS remains below Rs. 3800 so the premium will be Rs. 0 on expiry. How Will I earn, Whether I need to take any trade or amount will be auto-adjusted on expiry
Scenario 2- If on Expiry TCC remains between Rs. 3800-Rs. 3925, Say Rs. 3860 So I am expected to earn 65*150= Rs. 9750. What will happen If I don’t take any other trade till expiry.

Respected KSRK sir,
If price is settled on 21 feb below 3800. Then qty 52 is considered under retail. I will sell remaining qty either 3 or 4 (Holding 55 nos) by 1529 hrs.
Please guide me regarding balance qty to be sell on 21 Feb to become eligible under retail quota.

Dear Members,

I am holding around 40 shares of TCS and i have pledged the same for getting margin benefit for trading options.

1. Whether pledged shares also will be considered eligible ?
2. Can i keep the same pledged from now till the buyback offer closes and unpledge the same two days before the offer close date and tender it for buyback ? Ex : Assuming offer closes on say 31 march,i will keep the same pledged till 29thtmarch and then on 30th morning, I will unpledge it and then tender it for buyback.

119.1. VJ     Link|February 18, 2022 11:45:05 AM
Pledged shares are eligible.

However not sure on question 2 because total my demat team asked me to unpledge it due to buyback.
119.2. Ou Ai     Link|February 19, 2022 5:24:19 AM
Yes you can un pledge just before closing of issue. But, keep adequate number of days for your broker to reflect the shares in your allocation. This varies from broker to broker, 1~3 days.

118.3. Ou Ai     Link|February 19, 2022 5:22:18 AM
Pledged shares are eligible. Un pledge after buy back offer opening to tender before closure. Pledging now is with NSDL or CDSL and still held in your Demat account. So brokers have no role other than linking it to them to offer margins.

My buying price is rs 3800 of 22 share so whether is it risky for only buyback purposes??I can hold upto 2 month's so is it safe positions??By seeing my market conditions how much price can be come down in 2 months??? Advance Thanks for ur valuable replies...

Expert’s opinion is reproduced below for information of the readers:
“TCS stock has already corrected significantly in the last month creating a favorable risk-reward opportunity for the traders and investors. We have seen an acceptance ratio of more than 70% in recent buybacks for retail investors however this time it could be a little lower as the majority of retail investors are likely to participate. The outlook for the sector and TCS is bullish despite short-term volatility therefore investors should take benefit of this buyback," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
113.2. KAMMA SIVA RAMA KRISHNA     Link|February 18, 2022 1:41:07 PM

106. DAVID     Link|February 17, 2022 10:26:43 AM
My reading is TCS price can settle below 4000/- share . It means that a retail investor category individual can hold unto 50 share as on record date i.e. 23/02/22. With only 2 more trading days before the record date, it's unlikely to spike above 4000/-
Please correct me if I am wrong.
106.1. Vantage     Link|February 17, 2022 11:46:10 AM
Anything can happen

It can be that there is an operators who's making sure that on 21st/22nd the CMP of scrip stays below 3800 and within a matter of a day they can make crash the scrip making the rate go lower than 3500 and make retail shiver and confuse them :
1. to book loss/ profit now OR
2. Wait for 2 months for buyback window to open and then get marginal profit
