    18th being a holiday for Maharashtra, the date of opening of the Buyback is preponed to 17/9/2024 ….. source : corrigendum issued n received through the mail.

      Dear SRK Ji,it looks amazing and astonishing to see that you have been participating in almost all the buybacks. May I have the honour and privilege of knowing the return you have made on buybacks recently. Just curious, that’s all. Will miss you dearly if buybacks are not going to be there after October.

        Not much. Earlier I used to study and participate under the guidance of my learned guru Sri ANIKET JI. Now a days, I am engaged otherwise and hence I don’t find much time to study. I am participating in almost all without taking in to account its profitability and hence the returns are not significant. I am happy with the overall little gain. I am not that much ambitious. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to express my feelings. God bless you with all the best.

          Thank you so much for your prompt and frankly crafted response SRK Ji.Wish you good luck and good health. Hope buybacks and this zone will remain alive and the Ministry concerned will be conscious of our fears 🙏

    Looks like this will be the final buyback under the exempt income regime. Even if no shareholder vote is needed, the window of time remaining seems too narrow to push another one through.

      ER is 7/92 in my case. Buyback dates are from 18/9/2024 to 24/9/2024. Last date for settlement of the bids is 01/10/2024 which is surprising n damaging.

        It’s mentioned that settlement may be on or before the indicated date. This may be an eye wash and to calm down the investors.

        The offer document refers to the old regime only in the section on taxation. Also, promoters are participating. I think you can rely on them to make sure the buyback is completed on time so that the income they receive will be exempt.

    Can it be considered if it comes back to 920 range?
    In annual report approximately 4.5% shares are hold by people who have upto 500 shares.
    I am a newbie so dont know how to get the retail number.
    What is expected ER? Any idea?

    It happens sometimes, Vedant ji After all to err is human. This looks the last of the kind. So may be never again. Wishing you good luck.

    Even if any one has been unfortunate to have bought, please don’t make distress sale. The fundamentals look good and future may be better.

    May be good to buy incase available with 12 to 15% margin. Hope none of us have bought after the Board meeting announcement.
