        I hope it is as late as possible, so I am able to realise LTCG on shares i bought in December last year.

          It doesn’t matter at all, because the proceedings of the Buyback are TAX FREE in the hands of the Investor. As per Section 115QA, You don’t have to pay even a single Paisa as TAX. The companies will pay the TAX.

    Is there any prescribed time limit during which a company announces buyback dates after board meeting

    Sumit ji,
    I pray for your kind n precious views on this buyback. Your valuable views matter more to me. Please do share your opinion. Thank you.

      Purchased 219 shares @ Rs.662.05 with a hope that this buyback will give reasonable returns.

      Missing you dear Sumit ji. Thanks for the guidance of the recent past. Wish you and all worthy and adorable friends ,happy and prosperous Diwali .

    Buyback approved. Tender offer @ Rs 850 per share. 125 crore buyback. decent size from my view.

      Rohit bhai

      If you have studied the company
      Please share your views in detail

      How is it fundamentally, that is the most pertinent question, any corporate governance issues

      From financial standpoints
      Revenue is growing
      Looks fine

      Brand is also well known in delhi NCR region

      The 1 problem I see with this business is that even HNI go with non branded tiles in fair no of cases
      Middle. Income/upper middle mostly go for non-branded tiles (90%)

      That is why I stayed away from kajaria doubting their ability to penetrate the masses the same way electrical switc or wire companies were able to

        I have not done any financial analysis of the company. I only trade for buyback and exit from stock once buyback is over (whether in profit or loss). I suggest you the same.

      Good to see your valuable comment Rohit ji after a long time. Hope many more buybacks are coming up.

        Thanks for your message, Gopi 🙂 I think the ER will be somewhere around 15% and hoping for 25-30% AR. It mostly depends on the actual price during the tender period. Although I have already bough around Rs 3 lakh shares and will buy another 1 lakh if the share falls another 5%.

      Rohit Ji,
      has promoters shown inclination to participate in BUYBACK?
      when is tentative record date?

        Hi Jimmy,
        We will be able to find this out after the Postal Ballot or with the letter of offer.

      Hi friends, any idea when the ex-buyback date will be ? Is it possible it will be in December or later ?
