7. AUTHORITY FOR THE BUYBACK
Pursuant to Sections 68, 69 and 70 and other applicable provisions of the Act, the SEBI Buyback Regulations and in terms of Article 15 of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Buyback through a tender offer route has been duly authorized by the resolution passed by the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on July 9, 2021 and Shareholders of the Company by postal ballot, results of which were declared on August 13, 2021.
8. NECESSITY OF THE BUYBACK
The Board of Directors of the Company is of the view that the proposed Buyback will help the Company to achieve the following objectives:
(a) The Buyback gives an option to the equity shareholders, who can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback or they may choose not to participate thereby and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback, without additional investment; and
- (b) The Buyback would help in improving certain key financial ratios of the Company.
Accordingly, the proposed objectives will be achieved by returning part of surplus cash back to Shareholders through the Buyback process. This may lead to reduction in outstanding Shares, improvement in Earnings per Share and enhanced return on invested capital. Further, the Buyback will not in any manner impair the ability of the Company to pursue growth opportunities or meet its cash requirements for business operations.
9. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE LIKELY IMPACT OF BUYBACK ON THE COMPANY
-
9.1 The Buyback is not likely to cause any material impact on the profitability / earnings of the Company. Assuming there is full response to the Buyback, the funds deployed by the Company towards the Buyback would be ₹ 18,90,00,000 (Rupees Eighteen Crores Ninety Lacs only).
-
9.2 The Buyback is expected to result in overall enhancement of the shareholders’ value and will not in any manner impair the ability of the Company to pursue growth opportunities or meet its cash requirements for business operations.
-
9.3 The Buyback will not result in a change in control or otherwise affect the existing management structure

-
9.4 Consequent to the Buyback and based on the number of Shares bought back from the non-resident shareholders, foreign institutional investors, Indian financial institutions, banks, mutual funds and the public including other bodies corporate, the shareholding pattern of the Company would undergo a change.
-
9.5 The Company confirms that the debt-equity ratio post Buyback will be compliant with the permissible limit of 2:1 prescribed by the Act, even if the response to the Buyback is to the extent of 100% (assuming full acceptance in the Buyback Offer) .

NOTE ON TAXATION
1. General
THE SUMMARY OF THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE BASED ON THE CURRENT PROVISIONS OF THE TAX LAWS OF INDIA AND THE REGULATIONS THEREUNDER, THE JUDICIAL AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE INTERPRETATIONS THEREOF, WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE OR MODIFICATION BY SUBSEQUENT LEGISLATIVE, REGULATORY, ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL DECISIONS. ANY SUCH CHANGES COULD HAVE DIFFERENT TAX IMPLICATIONS ON THESE TAX CONSIDERATIONS.
IN VIEW OF THE PARTICULARIZED NATURE OF TAX CONSEQUENCES, SHAREHOLDERS ARE REQUIRED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS FOR THE APPLICABLE TAX PROVISIONS INCLUDING THE TREATMENT THAT MAY BE GIVEN BY THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX OFFICERS IN THEIR CASE, AND THE APPROPRIATE COURSE OF ACTION THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR OTHERWISE OF THIS TAX SUMMARY AND THERE CAN BE NO LIABILITY ON THE COMPANY IF ANY ACTION IS TAKEN BY THE SHAREHOLDER SOLELY BASED ON THIS TAX SUMMARY. THEREFORE, SHAREHOLDERS CANNOT RELY ON THIS ADVICE AND THE SUMMARY TAX IMPLICATIONS RELATING TO THE TREATMENT OF INCOME TAX IN THE CASE OF BUYBACK OF EQUITY SHARES LISTED ON THE STOCK EXCHANGES SET OUT BELOW SHOULD BE
-45-
Mahalaxmi Rubtech Limited- Letter of Offer
TREATED AS INDICATIVE AND FOR GUIDANCE PURPOSES ONLY.
The Indian tax year runs from April 1 to March 31 of subsequent year. The basis of charge of Indian income-tax depends upon the residential status of the taxpayer during a tax year. A person who is a tax resident of India is liable to taxation in India on his worldwide income, subject to certain prescribed tax exemptions provided under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (“ ITA ”).
A person who is treated as a non-resident for Indian tax purposes is generally liable to tax in India only on his/her Indian sourced income or income received by such person in India. Vide Finance Act, 2020, certain non-resident individuals are deemed to be resident in India upon triggering of certain conditions. Deemed residents would be liable to pay tax in India only on their Indian sourced income or income from business or professional controlled in India.
In case of shares of a company, the source of income from shares would depend on the “situs” of the shares. As per ITA and Judicial precedents, generally the “situs” of the shares is where company is “incorporated” and where its shares can be transferred. Accordingly, since the Company is incorporated in India, the shares of the Company would be “situated” in India and any gains arising to a non-resident on transfer of such shares should be taxable in India under the ITA subject to any specific exemption in this regard. Further, the non-resident can avail the beneficial tax treatment prescribed under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (“ DTAA ”), as modified by the Multilateral Instrument (MLI), if the same is applicable to the relevant DTAA between India and the respective country of which the said shareholder is tax resident. The above benefit may be available subject to satisfying relevant conditions prescribed under ITA including but not limited to availability of Tax Residency Certificate, nonapplicability of General Anti-Avoidance Rule (“ GAAR ”) and providing and maintaining necessary information and documents as prescribed under ITA as well as satisfying the relevant conditions under the respective DTAA including anti-abuse measures under the MLI, if applicable.
2. Classification of Shareholders
Section 6 of the ITA, determines the residential status of an assessee. Accordingly, shareholders can be classified broadly in three categories as below:
A. Resident Shareholders being:
-
Individuals, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), Association of Persons (AOP) and Body of Individuals (BOI), Firm, LLP
-
Others (corporate bodies): - Company
-
Other than Company
-
B. Deemed Resident Shareholder –an individual being a citizen of India who is not liable to tax in any other country or territory by reason of domicile, residence or any other criteria of similar nature and has total income other than foreign sourced income exceeding Rs 15 lakh during the tax year.
-46-
Mahalaxmi Rubtech Limited- Letter of Offer
-
C. Non-Resident Shareholders being:
-
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)
-
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) / Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs)
-
Others:
-
Company
-
Other than Company
3. Buy-back of Shares
Section 115QA of the ITA introduced w.e.f. June 1, 2013 contains provisions for taxation of a domestic company in respect of buy-back of shares (within the meaning of Sec. 68 of the Companies Act). In effect, the incidence of tax stands shifted completely to the Company and not the recipient of the buyback proceeds. Before the enactment of Finance Act (No 2), 2019, this section was not applicable to shares listed on a recognized stock exchange. The Finance Act (No 2), 2019 has amended section 115QA of the ITA with effect from 5th July, 2019 extending its provisions to cover distributed income on buy-back of equity shares of a company listed on a recognized stock exchange as well.
Section 10(34A) of the ITA provided for exemption to a shareholder in respect of income arising from buy-back of shares w.e.f. April 1, 2014 (i.e. Assessment year 2014-15). The Finance Act (No. 2), 2019 has also made consequential changes to section 10(34A) of the ITA extending the benefit of exemption of income from buy-back to shareholders in respect of shares listed on recognized stock exchange as well.
Thus, the tax implications to the following categories of shareholders are as under:
A. Resident Shareholders or Deemed Resident Shareholders
Income arising to the shareholder on account of buy-back of shares as referred to in section 115QA of the ITA is exempt from tax under the provisions of the amended section 10(34A) of the ITA with effect from July 5, 2019.
B. Non-Resident Shareholders
While the income arising to the shareholder on account of buy back of shares as referred to in section 115QA of the ITA is exempt from tax under the provisions of the amended section 10(34A) with effect from July 5, 2019 in the hands of a Non-resident as well, the same may be subject to tax in the country of residence of the shareholder as per the provisions of the tax laws of that country. The credit of tax may or may not be allowed to such Non- resident shareholder to be claimed in the country of residence in respect of the buy-back tax paid by the company in view of Sec 115QA (4) and (5) of the ITA. Nonresident shareholders need to consult their tax advisors with regard to availability of such a tax credit.
4. Tax Deduction at Source
-47-
Mahalaxmi Rubtech Limited- Letter of Offer
Currently, there are no provisions for tax deduction at source in respect of income earned from transfer/ buy-back of shares in case of resident shareholders/ deemed resident shareholders.
Given that income arising on account of the buy-back of shares is exempt from tax under Section 10(34A) of ITA, the same would not be subject to tax deduction at source for non-resident shareholders.
Caveat: The summary of the tax considerations as above is based on the current provisions of the tax laws of India, which are subject to change or modification by subsequent legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial decisions.
5. Securities Transaction Tax
Since the Buyback of shares shall take place through the settlement mechanism of the Stock Exchange, Securities Transaction Tax at 0.1% of the value of the transaction will be applicable.
22. DECLARATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Company have confirmed that based on such full inquiry conducted into the affairs and prospects of the Company and taking into account all the liabilities including prospective and contingent liabilities payable as if the Company were being wound up under the Act, the Board of Directors has formed an opinion that:
-
