(iv) As per Section 198 of the IT Act, LTCG arising on sale of listed equity shares will be subject to tax at the rate of 12.5% (twelve point five per cent.) (plus applicable surcharge and cess) if STT has been paid at the time of both purchase and sale of shares (except in certain cases notified by CBDT vide Notification No. 60/2018 dated October 1, 2018) and if the aggregate LTCG during the financial year exceeds ₹ 1,25,000 (Indian Rupees One Lakh Twenty Five Thousand).

No. 16] of IT Act, provides for a specific exemption from withholding tax at source from any income, by way of capital gains arising to an FII/FPI from the transfer of securities referred to in Section 210 of the IT Act.

(c) Each non-resident Public Shareholder will confirm its status by selecting the appropriate box in the Form of Acceptance-cum-Acknowledgement.

59
remittance/payment will be routed through the relevant stock exchange(s), and there will be no direct payment by the Acquirer to the non-resident Public Shareholders.
(f) Since the tendering of shares under the Open Offer is through the stock exchange(s), the responsibility to discharge tax due on the gains (if any) is on the non-resident Public Shareholder given that practically it is not possible to withhold taxes and the Acquirer believe that the responsibility of withholding/ discharge of the taxes due on such gains (if any) on sale of Equity Shares is solely on the custodians/ authorized dealers/ non-resident Public Shareholders – with no recourse to the Acquirer.

In the event, the Acquirer decides to withhold tax, the same shall be basis the documents submitted along with the Form of Acceptance-cum-Acknowledgement or such additional documents as may be called for by the Acquirer. It is recommended that the Public Shareholders consult their custodians/authorized dealers/tax advisors appropriately with respect to the taxability of such interest amount (including on the categorisation of the interest, whether as capital gains or as other income).
