Consequently, payment of consideration to the Public Shareholders of the Target Company whose Equity Shares have been accepted in this Offer as well as the return of the Equity Shares not accepted by the Acquirer may be delayed. In case of delay, due to non-receipt of statutory approvals, as per Regulation 18 (11) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, then SEBI may, if satisfied that the non-receipt of approvals was not attributable to any wilful default, negligence, or failure on the part of the Acquirer to diligently pursue such approvals, grant an extension for the purpose of completion of this Offer, subject to the Acquirer agreeing to pay interest to the Public Shareholders for the delay beyond 10th (Tenth) Working Day from the date of Closure of Tendering Period, as may be specified by SEBI.

13. NOTE ON TAXATION

  • 13.1. The basis of charge of Indian income-tax depends upon the residential status of the taxpayer during a tax year. The Indian tax year runs from April 1 until March 31. A person who is an Indian tax resident is liable to income-tax in India on his worldwide income, subject to certain tax exemptions, which are provided under the Income Tax Act, 1961. A person who is treated as a non-resident for Indian income-tax purposes is generally subject to tax in India only on such person's India sourced income (i.e. income which accrues or arises or deemed to accrue or arise in India) or income received or deemed to be received by such persons in India. In case of shares of a company, the source of income from shares would depend on the 'Situs' of such shares. 'Situs' of the shares is generally where a company is 'incorporated'. Accordingly, since the Target Company is incorporated in India, the Target Company's shares should be deemed to be 'situated' in India and any gains arising to a non-resident on transfer of such shares should be taxable in India under the IT Act.
  • 13.2. Gains arising from the transfer of shares may be treated either as 'capital gains' or as 'business income' for income-tax purposes, depending upon whether such shares were held as a capital asset or business asset (i.e. stock-in-trade). The IT Act also provides for different income-tax regimes/ rates applicable to the gains arising from the tendering of Equity Shares under the Open Offer, based on the period of holding, residential status, classification of the shareholder and nature of the income earned, etc. Any applicable surcharge and education cess would be in addition to such applicable tax rates.
  • 13.3. Based on the provisions of the IT Act, the shareholders would be required to file an annual income-tax return, as may be applicable to different category of persons, with the Indian income tax authorities, reporting their income for the

relevant year. The summary of income-tax implications on tendering of Equity Shares on the recognized stock exchange and chargeable to STT is set out below.

  • 13.4. Taxability of Capital Gain in the hands of the Public Shareholders:
  • 13.4.1. The Finance Act, 2018, vide Section 112A, has imposed an income tax on long-term capital gains at the rate of 10% (Ten percent only) on transfer of equity shares that are listed on a recognized stock exchange, which have been held for more than 1 (one) year and have been subject to STT upon both acquisition and sale (subject to certain transactions, yet to be notified, to which the provisions of applicability of payment of STT upon acquisition shall not be applicable). Under this provision the capital gains tax would be calculated on gains exceeding ₹1,00,000/- (Indian Rupees One Lakh only) (without any indexation and foreign exchange fluctuation benefits). It may also be noted that any capital gains arising up to January 31, 2018 are grandfathered under this provision. The cost of acquisition for the long-term capital asset acquired on or before January 31, 2018 will be the actual cost. However, if the actual cost is less than the fair market value of such asset (lower of consideration on transfer) as on January 31, 2018, the fair market value will be deemed to be the cost of acquisition.
  • 13.4.2. As per section 111A of the IT Act, short-term capital gains arising from transfer of listed shares on which STT is paid would be subject to tax at the rate of 15% (Fifteen percent only) for Public Shareholders (except certain specific categories).
  • 13.4.3. Any applicable surcharge and education cess would be in addition to above applicable rates.
  • 13.4.4. In case of resident Equity Public Shareholders, in absence of any specific provision under the IT Act, the Acquirer shall not deduct tax on the consideration payable to resident Public Shareholders pursuant to the Offer. However, in case of non-resident Public Shareholders, since the Offer is through the recognized stock exchange, the responsibility to discharge the tax due on the gains (if any) is on the non-resident Public Shareholders. It is therefore recommended that the non-resident Public Shareholder may consult their custodians/authorized dealer's/ tax advisors appropriately.
  • 13.4.5. The tax implications are based on provisions of the IT Act as applicable as on date of this DLoF. In case of any amendment made effective prior to the date of closure of this Offer, then the provisions of the IT Act as amended would apply.
  • 13.4.6. Notwithstanding the details given above, all payments will be made to the Public Shareholders subject to compliance with prevailing tax laws. The final tax liability of the Public Shareholder shall remain of such Public Shareholder and the said Public Shareholder will appropriately disclose the amounts received by it, pursuant to this Offer, before the Indian income tax authorities.
  • 13.5. THE ABOVE DISCLOSURE ON TAXATION SETS OUT THE PROVISIONS OF LAW IN A SUMMARY MANNER ONLY AND IS NOT A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR LISTING OF ALL POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISPOSAL OF THE EQUITY SHARES. THIS DISCLOSURE IS NEITHER BINDING ON ANY REGULATORS NOR CAN THERE BE ANY ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE A POSITION CONTRARY TO THE COMMENTS MENTIONED HEREIN. HENCE, THE PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS FOR TAX TREATMENT ARISING OUT OF THE PROPOSED OFFER THROUGH TENDER OFFER AND APPROPRIATE COURSE OF ACTION THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE. THE ACQUIRER AND THE MANAGER TO THE OFFER DO NOT ACCEPT NOR HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY TAX LIABILITY ARISING TO ANY PUBLIC SHAREHOLDER AS A REASON OF THIS OFFER.
