    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.

it all depends on market movement also....but i think no need to worry in TCS, you may need to wait if market doesn't perform well in near future but in 1-2 months max, it should cross 4000 or may be much early also if some positive global news.
Better to hold and sell around 3900-4000 since average buy price will be around 3750-3900 for most people who bought for buyback purpose.

Here in tcs, they are accepting buyback orders in 2 parts as informed in older message....so they may block your shares on 16th march may be.

@experts, I have 20 shares in my account, so I'm entitled to 2 shares for buyback.

However, what would be the good strategy of tendering? Shall I tender all my 20 shares or may be 10 shares? So that, if price goes high during the tendering I can sell the remaining shares that are not tendered. Please suggest.
268.27. sdz     Link|March 13, 2022 10:13:59 PM
@Aashish…i think that factor is (total BB shares- untendered ER shares)/(total tendered shares-tendered ER shares)
268.28. lokes     Link|March 14, 2022 12:21:54 AM
Final AR is applicable on all quantities held on record date and tendered. So it will be same for everyone only when they are tendering all their shares,
unlike ER , which is same for everyone. But obviously more the shares you will tender, more will be accepted so always better to tender all shares held on
record date.

Additional Ratio, will be known once AR comes out, can be calculated from someone who has tendered all shares held on record date.
Additional Ratio = (Accepted shares - Entitled shares) / (total shares - Entitled shares)
Additional Shares= Additional Ratio × (shares tender - entitled shares)
Accepted shares = Entitlement shares + Additional shares

Taking general example (not for TCS): if someone Holding 100 shares on record date, and Entitled shares are: 20 and AR comes out as 50% means 50 shares are accepted when 100 shares tendered.
So additional ratio is: 30/80 = 37.5%
so if someone tendering 50 shares suppose then additional shares = 11(round figure) so final accepted shares = 31, means 62% will be accepted out
of 50 shares tendered. So AR for him will be more obviously but no. of accepted shares count will be less obviously if he tenders less shares from what he held on record date.

Because if you have more than 56 share in your demat account or record date than you are not belong to retail category
267.2. Aaashish     Link|March 13, 2022 9:21:56 PM
you fall under general category and i think anyone having less than 108 shares have 0 eligibility

nonetheless, tender all 60 shares and some will get accepted based on the final AR
