    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.

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.

WHEN I TRIED TO SUBMIT BUY BACK FROM MY MOTILAL AC System had not allowed me. When i have asked MOFSL they said we don't have POA (Power of Attorney) from your side. I have given the same but they says it will take time to implement and may or may not be activated before cut off time. SO IT IS NOT SURE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE PART IN BUYBACK OR NOT
My account is six month old.
Is there any other way.

@vantage @harit: it's not correct for every broker.
Zerodha removes shares from portfolio after last date of tender. Till then they will be keep showing in holdings and you can even sell them in open market even after placing buyback order then simply buyback order will fail.
And this time zerodha is doing in two phases, as i explained in my earlier messages here in other threads so whoever placed order by 16th, those shares are debited now and whoever will place buyback order from 17th till 23, those will be debited on 23rd night or 24th.

TCS retail BB shares = 60L
Retail total shares = 430L
So ER= 60/430=14%
Expected Tendered shares = 200L
Acceptance Ratio AR= 60/200=30%
Expected Entitled shares tendered =40L

Entitled shares not tendered which need to be bought from investors who tendered shares more than their entitlement =60-40=20L

So 20L shares to be bought from (200-40)=160L
So Additional ratio or say Factor= 20/160=12.5%

Eg. I hold 49shares on record date and got 7 shares entitlement. If i tender:

1) 15shares: 7+ 8*12.5%=7+1=8 shares accepted
2) 31shares: 7+24*12.5%=7+3=10shares
3) 49shares: 7+42*12.5%=7+5=12 shares accepted

@IPOstonks...Individual investors tendered 2.11cr in BSE and 0.72cr in NSE. So total 2.83cr @ 1.45pm today. i'm not sure if individual investors means below 2lk (56 or below shares on record date). Experienced members in Buyback process can give more clarity on this

Individual Investors tendered 2.7cr shares till now, which is almost 4x of 60L shares buyback quota for retail investors. So Acceptance Ratio is going to be less than 25% :(

So only hope for investors who didn't tender shares yet like me is... share price to jump quickly this week itself to 4500rs ;)

Very very pathetic to see, bse or nse data on buyback subscription data is good for nothing.. no one knows what is retail or NII split.. it will take years for nse or bse to understand what they are doing...
292.18. sdz     Link|March 21, 2022 11:38:28 AM
@Amit…Eaxctly, what is the use of that buyback data when it not divided as per true requirement. In IPO, we apply selecting retail or NII and so they easily segregate. Similarly for buyback too, they should provide option to select Retail (under 2lk) separately as they were not able to generate it directly

closest round num of shares will be accepted. As calculations are done in lakhs, don’t think num will be exactly 7.5. They’ll accept 8 If 7.5001 or more and accept 7 if 7.499 or below

I am holding 250 shares as on record date, I have not been considered as retail investor and I am coming under general category. As per the letter of offer my entitlement is only 2 shares. It is derived from 250 X entitlement ratio of 1.08 for the general category. If the general category holders apply more than their entitlement the chances of getting more shares are very remote to get more shares than the entitlement ratio of 1.08. I think all general category holders MF, FPI, Corporates, Banks etc will definitely apply. Still all general category holders are applying more than their entitlement, I do not know the reason Why?

Retailors of 1515185 numbers are holding shares 13.32 crores. If all the retail investors applied more than the entitlement shares, only their entitlement shares only will be accepted, remaining shares will be rejected. 60 lakh shares are reserved for retail investor. Acceptance ratio is not the same figure by merely 60 lakhs shares divided by number of shares applied into 100, which is not a correct figure. In case the retail share holders whose are not applying, their entitlement shares only available for the remaining applicants.
