    ER for General & Reserved Category is same i.e 10 share out of 367. in this scenario AR for General Category may be higher than Reserved Category because big HNI may also not participate or limited participation in buyback due to tax implication.

    Reply

    ER Same for General & Reserved Category : 10 Equity Share for every 367 Equity
    Shares

    Expecting AR in between 15% to 30%

    Last time ER Was Same and AR was Around 15%

      Suppose you have 200 @675 share on record date and you tender all share but company accepts only 100 shares then 100*875=87500 will be treat dividend income and it taxed as normal slab rate and buying cost of that shares i.e. 100*675=67500 will be treated as short term capital loss and you can set off with STCG.

      Remaning 100 share will be as usual your short term or long term as applicable.

        Does that means if u are in a taxable slab with no capital gains in current year ha no use to apply for buyback else one had made such profits which can be adjusted in the stcg section

        Reply

          Now Buyback is beneficial to only who dont have income more than 12 lacs. or there is premium more than 30%.

          BTW you can carry forward STCL upto 8 years if no STCG not in current year and set of it with STCG or LTCG

    Experts need your opinion, are MTF positions eligible to participate in the buyback before record date later converting them to a normal delivery position, sending them for actual buyback? I am short in cash considering IPO line up next week.

    Reply

      It depends on your broker.They may send you email for ctd before RD.In that condition you have to convert it to delivery.
