  2. 2. What is the TCS Buyback Price?

    The income from the accepted buyback share is tax-free. There are no short-term or long-term capital gain taxes on the profits from TCS buyback accepted shares. The buyback price of Rs 4500 is the net price you will get for shares accepted.

    But the gain/loss from the sell of the remaining share in the open market (not accepted in buyback offer) will be taxable as usual.

    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.

The entitlement for each shareholder would then be fixed as per their holding on the Record Date. Shareholders can tender either part or entire holding as on the Record Date in the buyback. However, the acceptance would initially be the entire entitlement of the shareholder and any additional acceptance would be based on the overall additional shares tendered by all the Eligible Shareholders.

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.

@lokes Sir, pls share your thoughts..

Just comparing MOIL buyback based on NSE data:
Total shares for Retail - 50Lakhs
Shares tendered in Individual category = 12 crores (Retail + General)
ER - 19.6% AR - 65%

TCS so far:
Total shares for Retail - 60 Lakhs
Shares tendered in Individual category = 1.14crores (Retail + General)
ER - 14%
I was expecting 40% AR as per the above calculation..

I got confused after seeing msgs in this forum. Why is bse showing more number of bids since NSE always have more users.. Pls enlighten @lokes

@sdz
I have not verified data given by @ pigeon. It is a comparison based on nse data.
Though these two are not comparable and we do not have any convincing approach to get a glimpse of the outcome, any guess may be far from the reality.
However, the data of relative analysis has made me hopeful of a better ratio as it speaks of something in that direction.

Thanking you,

Can sell the shares even after applying for buyback?

Zerodha saying do not sell share after applied

but is it okay to sell if I'm getting good price?
317.5. Cyberdude     Link|March 24, 2022 12:28:55 PM
For me in Zerodha i can not my see my shares once the buyback order is placed, so we can not sell the applied shares.

@Avenue
You are right. When the shares are blocked by Depository, it is not at all possible to sell the shares as they are not available to sell. Till the time the Broker doesn't execute our order for buyback, one can sell. Once the message of blocking of shares received, they are not with us to sell.

As per buy back Prospectus of TCS Number of Small Shareholders is 21,10,826, Holding 4,10,51,350 Equity Shares.
Total Number of bids received - BSE 7,88,620 + NSE 346343 = 1134963, Even Assuming that all bids are from Small Shareholders ( which is not a fact ), only 53.77 % small shareholders have submitted bid.

So the Acceptance Ratio will be at least double of Entitlement of 15%. Means Acceptance Ratio will be at least 30%

General category bids are usually less than 50k and even if we consider high number of bids in this buyback it won’t cross 1.35Lk, so small investor applications will be more than 10Lk. Average holding will be 20-25 shares per application. Again this is leading us to the same 25-30% AR 😀

Total shares tendered in Individual category -
BSE = 6,22,21,854
NSE = 1,14,09,476
TOTAL = 7,36, 31,330
Assuming 50% to 30% to be small shareholders(below 2 lakhs) AR can well be between 16 to 28%..
A far cry from previous cent percent AR.
Can result in net loss, if TCS do not cross 3800 to 4000.

@SDZ, What i have written is - - if it does not cross 3800-4000,i meant if its below 3800. Also two times delivery (DIS) charges will apply, once for accepted share and secomd time for selling balance shares.
But let's all hope for atleast 50%AR

304.3. Pramod SK     Link|March 23, 2022 1:31:22 PM
Total individual shareholding as of 31st Dec 2021 was 3.83%. As of record date, small shareholding was 1.1%. based on this, we can assume around 30% retailer applications out of 7 Cr so for. Hence, it we extrapolate this figure, retail acceptance could be in the range of 25% to 30%.

Final figure will come only when we see money credited.
