    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.

Sir,
As the size of the buyback is not considered to be a great one, one may purchase around 100 shares for tendering in the buyback to try your luck. AR n Returns are likely to be not that much attractive in my opinion. Thank you n all the best to all of you.

Hello buyback experts,

Wanted to confirm from experts that 2 lakh retail quota is calculated based on record data highest volume price right? and its not buyback price (4500 in tcs case)

I couldn't find the confirmed info in tcs forum page here, so wanted to confirm. but got the info from this page:-
Q. What is the eligibility condition for retail shareholder?
https://investorzone.in/everything-about-the-buyback-you-want-to-know/

If you are holding shares worth less than 2lakh on Record date, then you will be eligible for buyback. The highest volume closing price on NSE or BSE is taken as reference for calculating 2 Lakh condition.
71.1. Suneel Padavala   I Like It. 1|  Link|February 12, 2022 1:39:57 PM
That's correct. Highest volume closing price as on record date is considered as reference for calculating 2 Lakhs condition.

If I buy TCS on Monday (14/02/2022) then am I eligible for buyback? Buyback record date hasn't been announced yet perhaps,
Thanks

70.2. sbipo     Link|February 12, 2022 1:58:04 PM
@Suneel ji,
Thanks,but AR won't be more than 60% max I think as price is dwindling day by day due to NASDAQ plunge owing to rate hike fear and high valuation,also BB participation is much higher this time compared to previous BB.


70.3. Suneel Padavala     Link|February 12, 2022 3:10:05 PM
@Sbiipo
I agree, AR could be less than or close to 40%.
Irrespective of AR, TCS is a good portfolio stock and good price to enter. Anyhow, looks you have good idea about overall market conditions and you know what to do...

What will be probable acceptance ratio in tcs buy back.can I purchase 44 share.if minimum acceptance is 4 shares than what is chance of Tcs share after buy back
69.1. Suneel Padavala     Link|February 12, 2022 1:42:30 PM
I think AR could be around 40 to 50% as many people are participating in buyback and share price is also at 3694. There is good 800 rs per price and assuming 50% AR we will get 16K to 17K per profit. After buyback, price will increase as floating stock will reduce and also TCS is #1 IT company and long term portfolio stock.

Dear Experts,

Please let me know that if we have only 1 share of companies who declared buyback through tender route, is it 100 % sure news that company must accept that 1 share even the acceptance ratio is whatever i.e. (25%, 50 %, 75 % or any other ratio than 100 %) ?
