    Many have been asking for checking subscription and expected AR..
    Here is example, till 16:00 today the individual subscription is 1224246. Now all individual may not be small share holder, but small share holder would be less than individual.
    Now shares available for small share holder are 3,31,575. So calculated AR would be 27.08. But considering earlier experience that large individual holders also apply as individuals, it is expected AR to be around 1.6 X 27.08 i,e, 43%.
    The last calculation is guestimate only, but roughly AR would be between 35-55^

    Buyback Opening Date : 31 March
    Buyback Closing Date : 10th April

    Payment for Accepted Shares in Buyback : 18 April

    Retail Entitlement Ratio : 20 Shares against 99 Shares

        Total Share Reserve for Retail Category is 3,31,575 (22,10,500*15%)
        Total retails share holder as on ex date is 16,41,071

        ER = 3,31,575/16,41,071=20.20%

    Last year’s ER is 19.86% so I assume more or less the same ER.

      Sir konsa price mana gya hai
      24 March ka ya 23 March ka
      Please btana
      I have hgs shares
      At 1309
      Price agar 3 March ki closing liya jaye to mere shares ki value 2 lakh above hai
      But agar 6 March open ya close mana Jaye to under 2 lakh
