What is a Buy Back of Shares?
Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on Telegram

Buyback is the process by which a company buys back its shares from its existing shareholders at a higher price than the market price. When the Company repurchases shares, the number of shares outstanding in the market decreases. Shareholders have the option of exiting the Company business. The company is governed by the Companies Act, 2013.

The major reasons for buyback include the improvement of earnings per share, ideal cash usage, imparting confidence to shareholders during price fall, encouraging participation of promoters to increase the reduction of takeover opportunities, shareholder receiving excess cash returns and improvement of net assets return and investments return.

For a company, the buy-back of other specified securities or its own shares could be conducted through various methods which include shares from other specified holders or existing shareholders through the tender offer on a proportionate basis, through open market, stock exchange, book-building process and from odd-lot holders.

Several sources of buy-back for a company’s purchase of other specified securities and its own shares includes the securities premium account, its free reserve or the proceeds from issues of other specified securities or any shares, however the purchase from proceeds cannot be done from earlier issue of the same kind of specified securities or shares.

Tax on Buy Back of Shares

The tax on equity dividends was one of the first major initiatives in the Union Budget 2016, which aimed to encourage buybacks. A company can give its shareholders different rewards. One way of rewarding shareholders is through the declaration of dividends. Now, dividends are taxed at three different rates. Dividends are a post-tax payment made by a company.There is a dividend distribution tax (DDT) on dividends that are paid by the company declaring the dividend. Investors who earn more than Rs.10 lakhs in dividends each year will also have to pay an additional 10% tax. Before purchasing back shares, it is important to understand how the various factors add up.

Buybacks are a useful tool for promoters and large investors to avoid the payment of huge taxes on dividends. However, with the introduction of the new tax on long-term capital gains without indexation, the advantages of buying back shares may have diminished.

It can therefore be concluded that Indian companies have announced share buybacks in response to the undervaluation of their shares in the capital markets and are well supported by the availability of sufficient cash balances. Therefore, the premium offered in relation to the announced buyback price, on the one hand, provides shareholders with an exit opportunity. On the other hand, it provides an opportunity for the company to use its liquidity position to extinguish today’s shares and reissue them. future. It prevents takeovers and mergers, prevents monopolies, and helps preserve consumer sovereignty. Buybacks, on the other hand, can manipulate records and mislead shareholders by flattening price-to-earnings ratios and earnings per share.Buybacks can have a big impact on a company’s stock price, so it’s important for shareholders to be aware of them before investing.
