    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.

Hi everyone, I have tendered 18 shares for TCS buyback through zerodha. But till now I didn't received debit message from CSDL. And also checked the CDSL, there also tcs shares of 18 are in holdings. Can anyone suggest what is the reason for same. And is there any chances that my accepted shares will debit on Monday.
362.1. BISWAJIT KAR     Link|March 26, 2022 9:26:45 AM
Today itself shares will be debited from your zerodha account. Check your portfolio after sometime.

Those are confused about acceptance ratio of TCS is 26%

TOTAL SHARES HOLDING ON RECORD DATE
ZERODHA - 11 SHARES
ICICIDIRECT - 32 SHARES

ENTITLEMENT RATIO - 14.6158409

FOR ZERODHA - 11 * 14.6158409% = 1.60 - FRACTION SKIPPED = 1
FOR ICICIDIRECT - 32 * 14.6158409% = 4.67 - FRACTION SKIPPED = 4

ENTITLEMENT -
ZERODHA - 1
ICICIDIRECT - 4
TOTAL - 5

NOW ACCEPTANCE
==============
ADDITIONAL SHARES TENDERED
ZERODHA - 10 (EXCLUDING ENTITLEMENT)
ICICIDIRECT - 28 (EXCLUDING ENTITLEMENT)

FINAL ACCEPTANCE RATIO IS 26%, BUT AS ENTITLEMENT ALREADY CALCULATED AS 14.61%,
26 - 14.61 = 11.39% FOR ADDITIONAL SHARES

ZERODHA - 10 * 11.39% = 1.139 - FRACTION SKIPPED - 1
ICICIDIRECT - 28 * 11.39% = 3.18 - FRACTION SKIPPED - 3

TOTAL ACCEPTANCE
ZERODHA = 1 (ENTITLEMENT) + 1 (ADDITIONAL) = 2
ICICIDIRECT = 4 (ENTITLEMENT) + 3 (ADDITIONAL) = 7

TOTAL 9 SHARES ACCEPTED FROM 43 SHARES ---- IT IS - 20.93% ONLY

==============================================================================

IF SHARES HOLDING ONLY IN ONE DEMAT THEN
ENTITLEMENT FOR 43 SHARES = 43 * 14.6158409% = 6.28 = 6 (FRACTION SKIPPED)
ACCEPTANCE = 43 - 6 = 37 * 11.39% = 4.21 = 4 (FRACTION SKIPPED)

TOTAL = 6 (ENTITLEMENT) + 4 (ADDITIONAL) = 10
FINAL RATIO = 23.25%

LOSS OF 1 SHARE ACCEPTANCE DUE TO HOLDING IN 2 DEMAT A/C
==============================================================================
361.1. NK     Link|March 26, 2022 9:30:12 AM
This makes sense. My accepted shares (Zerodha) match this calculation. What's strange is in another Demat account (Groww), I'd 6 shares. This didn't even get an entitlement note. (Maybe because its 1:7 entitlement ratio) But I see in Groww now 4 shares are available. If 2 shares are accepted, then it would be 33.33% acceptance ratio. Any rationale behind this?

TCS Buyback Acception ratio declared by company is 26%

As per 44 share x 26%=11 acceptable

But accept 10 share out of 44 tendered & debit message received from DP & broker.

Something is wrong with retail share holders.


359.1. Ashok     Link|March 26, 2022 12:03:25 AM
26%is fake , mine accepted 4 out of 20 just 20%, if it was 26% then atleast 5 to be accepted
359.2. antarix     Link|March 26, 2022 8:54:23 AM
Yes, 26% is not correct. I tendered 50 shares out of which 12 have been accepted.
358. Param Patel     Link|March 25, 2022 8:53:36 PM
Many people's are claiming that AR is exactly 26% but I don't think it is true almost every friend of mine was holding 50 shares in 18 accounts. In 15 accounts only 12 shares were accepted looks strange and in only 3 account 13 shares accepted ( all of them have account in upstox so came to know how many shares accepted )
So if 13 out of 50 shares accepted then AR is 26%
But in most of cases 12 out of 50 shares accepted so AR will be 24%
And read many msgs where 10 out of 44 shares accepted which makes AR 22-23%.
So it is pretty confusing but one thing is for sure AR is not exactly 26% might be 24-25%

I applied for 250 shares for buyback in general category. Only 6 shares were accepted. I received the SMS just now. The news in Economic times is vague and also not mentioning about which category, "13 shares for each 50 shares" is confusing all investors of general category.
354.1. ColdBurger     Link|March 25, 2022 10:15:59 PM
13 out of 50 can never be for general in such high tender ratio. So it is for Retail (sub 2L) individuals.

Relived to see AP above 25%. It was quite worrying due to market condition and high tender volume. Missed @KSRK sir a lot during TCS buyback.. Went by his suggestion for MOIL and submitted all in TCS. Hope TCS will touch 4K figure soon. See the TATA ELEXI how it is on fire in this market condition. Missed great opportunity today, flat 10% gain in 2 hour was on card.
