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.

मेरा यह सवाल है कि रिकॉर्ड डेट 23 फरवरी को यदि मेरे पास TCS का एक शेयर है तो क्या मैं सिर्फ एक शेयर ही बायबैक के लिए अप्लाई कर पाऊंगा या फिर रिकॉर्ड डेट के बाद भी कुछ और शेयर खरीद कर बायबैक में अप्लाई कर सकता हूं
100.1. antarix     Link|February 16, 2022 2:27:58 PM
आप सिर्फ एक शेयर ही बायबैक के लिए दे पाएंगे. रिकॉर्ड डेट के बाद ख़रीदे/बेचे गए शेयर की संख्या से आपके entitlement पर फर्क नहीं पड़ेगा.

Is gain on buyback taxable just like normal equity?

Suppose I have 45 shares right now. Will I get to know exactly how many shares I can have to be just below the retail threshold of 2 lacs?
Or is it like guessing and taking calculated gamble and then hoping?!
98.5. ValueSeeker     Link|February 16, 2022 11:09:18 AM
@antarix
But your holding on 21st Feb will be considered, and it will trade till record date i.e. 23rd Feb. What if it is below 4000 on 21st, and closes above 4000 on 23rd?
So, isn't it a sort of gamble of 2 days?
98.6. antarix   I Like It. 1|  Link|February 16, 2022 12:58:38 PM
I will consider the price on 21 Feb only. If it is near 4000, I will sell some. If not, say it is 3900 on 21 Feb, then I will definitely keep all the 50 shares although later it may go up and cross 4000 on 23 Feb.

As I said earlier, TCS is a share with minimum risk to investment. I would have bought more, but funds constraints are there.

Tcs के bayback में Retail catagory में शामिल होने के लिए रूपए 4500 प्रति शेयर की कीमत से गणना होगी या जिस दिन शेयर टेन्डर कर रहे हैं उस दिन की कीमत या बाजार भाव से गणना होगी
मेरा सबाल है किretail category. में 44 शेयर ही tender होंगे या उस दिन के बाजार भाव से शेयर की संख्या ज्यादा भी हो सकती है, दो लाख रुपए तक की सीमा में कौन सा मूल्य की गणना होगी

आप कितने शेयर टेंडर करते हैं इससे कोई मतलब नहीं है. जैसा कि मैंने पहले बताया, आपके पास रिकॉर्ड डेट को कितने शेयर हैं, उसके आधार पर आप की श्रेणी (retail या general ) निर्धारित होगी.

अगर रिकॉर्ड डेट को आपके पास 100 शेयर हैं तो आप general श्रेणी में आयेंगे।

Can I sell my shares on the record date or a day before, to minimise any potential downside risk , and still get considered for tendering with the plan of buying them back when the offer opens. Or should I keep them until one day after the record date?
Experts kindly answer, any other rookie feedback is also welcomed in same regard

if your broker will debit shares on same day or next day from your account, then you will not be eligible so you can discuss regarding this with your broker and accordingly you can decide. Definitely don't sell one day before record date to avoid any risk, and regarding selling on record date, you may be eligible but still better to check with your broker once.

you will get mail from tcs in around two weeks after record date, then buyback dates will be mentioned, then you can tender your shares in buyback during buyback period from your broker site. For zerodha , you can check below link how to place order, for other broker, you can call and check with them how to place order for buyback.

HSM ji,
CMP is around Rs.3725/- n the buyback price is Rs. 4500/-. You can purchase at the CMP and the unaccepted shares after the buyback may have to be hold for some time to get a better price. TCS is a reasonably reliable company which may not disappointment the investors. Each and every company is not similar to the STAR CEMENTS.

What's your advise for MAYUR UNIQUOTERS LTD buyback?
Thanks
83.3. lokes     Link|February 13, 2022 6:22:52 PM
@K.Atar : in all these new small buybacks, if anyone wants to enter, then better don't buy for full retail amount, as all these shares had good run up in last 1-2 years and after record date and after buyback they can fall more so if anyone wants to enter then better try with around 100 shares approx means around with 50K capital instead of trying with full 2 lakh capital.
They can have lesser AR around 15% to 35% approx in retail due to smaller size of buybacks.
