Hi, I have 70 shares of tcs. Amount is greater than 2L limit of retail category. Now what should I do? If I gave only 44 shares for buyback will I consider as retail category?
Retail/general category is decided as per value of shares held on record date. So you can sell in open market remaining shares 2 days before record date to come in retail category. Or if you holding for longer term, you can participate in general category also. Acceptance will be more in retail category.
How is the retail investor limit of 2Lakhs decided. On buying price value / Vaue of shares on record date or Value at the buyback price. Someone Pl clarify.
@Safe Bet: 2L limit will be based on what is the higher price (NSE/BSE and some %age trading rule). Mostly NSE/BSE price pair up to paisa to keep a 5k margin and ensure it does not cross 1.95 L . Usually on record date the price fall sharply as may riding the buyback for positional exit on ex-date. I guess price will not remain above 4000 on record date and 50 shares should be ok but be alert on ex-date/record date.
