How a tender-offer buyback works
The company offers to buy back shares from shareholders at a fixed price, usually above the market price. Shareholders on the record date can tender their shares during the offer period, and the company accepts them in proportion (the acceptance ratio). Shares that are not accepted are returned to the demat account.
Small shareholders get a reserved share
15% of a tender-offer buyback is reserved for small shareholders, those whose holding in the company is worth up to ₹2 lakh on the record date. Their acceptance ratio is often higher than for large shareholders.
Tax on buybacks
For buybacks from 1 October 2024, the entire amount received is taxed as dividend income at your slab rate, and the cost of the shares bought back is treated as a capital loss. Work out the numbers with the buyback acceptance ratio calculator.
