    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.

Can someone please clarify below questions?

1) Any tentative date for Buyback record date?

2) Also to consider one as retail investor, is it buyback price of Rs, 4500 or CMP on buyback date?

i.e 2,00,000/ 4500 = 44 shares
or
ie 2,00,000 / 4000 = 50 shares (let's assume CMP on buyback date is Rs 4000)

Thanks!

In the following circumstances, assume that current price is 3800 and by the time buyback window gets announced its 4000 n in buyback its also reaching 4500 in secondary mkt.

Person A Buys 50 shares of TCS, waits for the ex date /record date announcement and In the buy-back, presents only 44 out of 50 shares? , will the person B be eligible for buy back?

Person B buys 50 shares of TCS, waits for the ex date /record date announcement and then sells off 6 shares (before ex date) and In the buy-back, presents only 44 out of 44 shares

I agree its the more safest to go with Person B's approach but want to know if Person A will be eligible for participating for a successful buyback same as Person B?

@avinash: As informed in earlier messages on this current page, evoting will be there and ongoing. For most IT companies, evoting happens in buyback.
IPOINPUT:You can purchase tcs shares upto 2 days before record date, to be eligible for buyback and record date is still not announced.

Record date will be announced on 15th feb after evoting results and record date will be probably around 21st to 25th feb any day.

Thanks @ lokes I am buying in all accounts regularly. Right now the average is a little below 3800. even at 50% AR the price of remaining shares would be 3100 only. I will hold remaining shares and buys big quantity if it goes to 2800. I know TCS will again do a buyback after two years and the price can be 5000 that time.

@Newrookie : if price comes around 4100-4200 suppose any day during tender period then many retailers may sell all shares in open market because in buyback if all are not accepted so remaining shares carries risk of price going down after buyback but in open market all can be sold earning decent risk free profit and amount will be received 10-15 days before only.
So less people will tender so more AR as @rajkumar also explained.

Record date is still not announced. Record date will be announced on 15th feb after evoting results and record date will be probably around 21st to 25th feb any day.

You need to buy shares upto 2 days before record date to be eligible for buyback. You will get mail from registrar after record date is over for your eligibility and shares holding on record date. You can place order (tender shares) from your broker site for all shares as held on record date. In buyback mail, dates will be mentioned for tender period upto which you can tender shares with your broker. From this forum also, you will come to know about buyback opening dates. Also read below link info for zerodha. For other brokers, you can call them to know how to place order for tendering shares when buyback period opens.
