Share Buyback Tracker
Every active and recent share buyback in India. We track tender-route buybacks (where retail typically gets a 15% reservation) and open-market buybacks. Acceptance ratio is what determines your real return — retail tendering odds are usually 50–95% depending on issue size and reservation.
How buybacks work for retail
- Tender route: Company invites shareholders to tender shares at a fixed price. Retail (≤₹2L holding) gets a 15% mandatory reservation under SEBI rules. You tender via your broker; if oversubscribed, partial acceptance.
- Open market: Company buys shares from the market over 6 months. No tender needed — retail benefits passively as price rises toward the buyback ceiling.
- Acceptance ratio: For tender-route, acceptance = (your shares × 15% reservation × buyback size) / total retail shares tendered. Highly oversubscribed buybacks have low acceptance (~30%); under-subscribed buybacks accept 100%.
- Tax: Post Budget 2024, buyback proceeds are taxed as dividend incomeat your slab — and the original buy cost becomes a capital loss to offset gains. Big change vs the old "tax-free" era.
