    Please answer my question if anyone knows it… Suppose I sell all my holding on 28 Feb as I eligible for buyback So I bought No of entitled share again and participate on buyback is it possible???

    Since the record date is 28th, it appears that the process will be completed within the current financial year itself. That’s another disadvantage from the Income tax perspective.

      Advantage if your tax bracket is less than 20 percent and you have stcg from share thus year. My case is like that

    Thanks Trinity.
    MG, its very bad system. It means irrespective of profit or loss taxes would need to be paid and that too on Slab rate which is 30% on the selling amount. It means even I have bought at same rate as Buyback, I would need to pay 33% of Rs 500/- This is crazy. May be its suitable for the accounts where there are no taxes to be paid. Else while its doesn’t make sense..

    Thanks for creating the page for Nava Buyback,
    Can someone kindly teach me the current income tax system for Buyback.
    I had bought Nava @200 around 2 years back. What would be the tax implication?

    Reply

      Let us say 100 shares get accepted. Then you will have deemed dividend income of 50k, which will be taxed at the slab rate.

      Also, you will be able to claim a long term capital loss of 20K, which you can use to offset long term capital gains from other investments. If one doesn’t have enough long term capital gains to offset in the current year, the losses can be carried forward.

        Also, TDS of 10% would be deducted on the deemed dividend of 50K, for which you can claim credit while filing the ITR.

        is it Long Term Capital Loss? I was under impression that Short Term Capital Loss can also be considered. can you confirm?

        Reply

          The OP clearly stated that he has held the shares for 2 years. In his case, it is a long term holding. If someone else has held them for less than an year till the date of sale, it would be a short-term holding.
