6.4 Shareholding of the promoters and members of the promoter group post-Buyback and compliance thereof with the SEBI Listing Regulations:

For details with respect to Promoters’ shareholding post Buyback please refer to paragraph 14 (Capital Structure and Shareholding Pattern ) on page 22 of this Draft Letter of Offer

17

Upon completion of the Buyback, the Company will comply with the requirement of maintaining a minimum public shareholding of at least 25% of the total paid up Equity Share capital as provided under Regulation 38 of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

7. AUTHORITY FOR THE BUYBACK

The Buyback is being undertaken in accordance with Article 4 of the Articles of Association, Sections 68, 69 and 70, and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, applicable rules thereunder including the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, and the SEBI Buyback Regulations. The Buyback is subject to receipt of such approvals, permissions and sanctions, as may be required under the applicable laws including from the SEBI and/ or the BSE and NSE.

The Buyback has been authorised by the resolution of the Board of Directors passed at their meeting which was held on Monday, August 10, 2020.

8.

NECESSITY OF THE BUYBACK

The Buyback is being proposed by the Company to return surplus funds to the Equity Shareholders, which are over and above its ordinary capital requirements and in excess of any current investment plans, in an expedient, efficient and cost effective manner. Additionally, the Company’s management strives to increase the Equity Shareholders’ value and the Buyback would result in the following benefits, amongst other things:

  • The Buyback will improve the Earnings Per Share (EPS), Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return on Equity (ROE);

  • The Buyback will help in achieving an optimal capital structure;

  • The Buyback will help the Company to distribute surplus cash to the Equity Shareholders broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing their overall return;

  • The Buyback, which is being implemented through the tender offer route as prescribed under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, would involve allocation of number of shares as per the entitlement of the shareholders or 15% of the number of Equity Shares to be bought back whichever is higher, reserved for the small shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as “small shareholder” as per Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations;

  • The Buyback gives an option to the equity shareholders to either (i) choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback or (ii) choose to not participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post Buyback, without additional investment.

After considering several factors and benefits to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, the Board decided to approve the Buyback up to 61,90,000 (Sixty One Lakh Ninety Thousand) Equity Shares representing 2.50% of the total paid-up equity capital of the Company at price of INR 105.00 (Indian Rupees One Hundred Five only) per Equity Share, payable in cash, for an aggregate maximum amount not exceeding INR 64,99,50,000 (Indian Rupees Sixty Four Crores Ninety Nine Lakhs Fifty Thousand only) excluding any expenses incurred or to be incurred for the Buyback, which represents 5.31% and 5.03% of the aggregate of the Company’s paid-up capital and free reserves (including securities premium) as per the audited financials of the Company as on March 31, 2020, on a standalone and consolidated basis respectively (i.e. the last audited financial statements available as on the date of the Board Resolution approving the Buyback).

9. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND THE LIKELY IMPACT OF BUYBACK ON THE COMPANY

  • 9.1 The Company believes that the Buyback is not likely to cause any material impact on the profitability/ earnings of the Company except a reduction in the investment income, which the Company could have otherwise deployed towards generating investment income. Assuming there is full response to the Buyback, the funds deployed by the Company towards the Buyback would be INR 64,99,50,000 (Indian Rupees Sixty Four Crores Ninety Nine Lakhs Fifty Thousand only) excluding the Transaction Costs. This shall impact the investment income earned by the Company, on account of reduced amount of surplus funds available.

18

  • 9.2 The Company believes that the Buyback will not in any manner impair its ability to pursue growth opportunities or meet its cash requirements for business operations. The Buyback is likely to result in improvement in EPS and enhance the return on equity. The Buyback is being undertaken, inter alia , for helping the Company to return surplus cash to the Eligible Shareholders broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to the shareholders.

  • 9.3 The promoters and members of the promoter group intend to participate in the Buyback. For further details, see “ Details of the Buyback - Intention of the promoters and members of the promoter group to participate in the Buyback” on page 15. Assuming response to the Buyback is to the extent of 100% (full acceptance) from all the Eligible Shareholders up to their Buyback Entitlement, the aggregate shareholding of the promoters, members of the promoter group and persons in control post Buyback may increase / decrease from 68.35%, which is the shareholding as at date, to [●]% of the post Buyback Equity Share capital of the Company and the aggregate shareholding of the public may increase / decrease from 31.65%, which is the public shareholding as at date, to [●]% of the post Buyback Equity Share capital of the Company.

  • 9.4 The Buyback is not expected to result in a change in control or otherwise affect the existing management structure of the Company.

  • 9.5 Consequent to the Buyback and based on the number of Equity Shares bought back from the Non-Resident Shareholders (including FIIs and FPIs), Indian financial institutions, banks and other shareholders, the shareholding under each category may undergo a change .

  • 9.6 As required under Section 68(2)(d) of the Companies Act, 2013 the ratio of the aggregate of secured and unsecured debts owed by the Company shall not be more than twice its paid up Equity Share capital and free reserves post completion of the Buyback, even if the response to the Buyback is to the extent of 100% (full acceptance).

  • 9.7 In furtherance to the Regulation 24(i)(e) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the promoter and members of promoter group, and their associates, shall not deal in the Equity Shares or other specified securities of the Company either through the stock exchanges or off-market transactions (including inter-se transfer of Equity Shares among the promoter and members of promoter group) from the date of Board Meeting approving the Buyback till the closing of the Buyback.

  • 9.8 In compliance with the provisions of the SEBI Buyback Regulations and SEBI circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2020/69 dated April 23, 2020, the Company shall not raise further capital for a period of 6 (six) months (or such period as applicable in accordance with SEBI Buyback Regulations and circulars issued by SEBI) from the date on which the payment of consideration to shareholders who have accepted the buyback offer is made except in discharge of subsisting obligations such as conversion of warrants, stock option schemes, sweat equity or conversion of preference share or debentures into equity shares. Further, the Company shall not issue any Equity Shares or other securities including by way of bonus issue till the date on which the payment of consideration to shareholders who have accepted the buyback offer is made in accordance with the Companies Act and the SEBI Buyback Regulations.

In this regard, the Company will request BSE to provide the acquisition window.

  • 20.3 The promoters and members of the promoter group intend to participate in the Buyback. For further details, see “ Details of the Buyback - Intention of the promoters and members of the promoter group to participate in the Buyback” on page 15.

  • 20.4 Assuming response to the Buyback is to the extent of 100% (full acceptance) from all the Eligible Shareholders up to their Buyback Entitlement, the aggregate shareholding of the promoters, members of the promoter group and persons in control post the Buyback may increase / decrease from 68.35%, which is the shareholding as at date, to [●] % of the post Buyback equity share capital of the Company.

20.5 Record Date, ratio of Buyback and Buyback Entitlement:

  • (a) As required under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the Company has fixed Friday, August 28, 2020 as the Record Date for the purpose of determining the entitlement and the names of the shareholders of the Equity Shares, who are eligible to participate in the Buyback.

  • (b) The Equity Shares to be bought back, as part of the Buyback is divided in to two categories:

  • (i) reserved category for Small Shareholders; and

  • (ii) the General Category for all other Eligible Shareholders.

  • (c) ‘Small Shareholder’ has been defined under Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations and in relation to the Buyback means an Eligible Shareholder who holds Equity Shares of market value of not more than INR 2,00,000 (Indian Rupees two lakhs only), on the basis of closing price on BSE/ or NSE, whichever registers the highest trading volume in respect of the Equity Shares on the Record Date Friday, August 28, 2020. As on the Record Date, the volume of Equity Shares traded on BSE was [●] Equity shares and on NSE was [●] Equity Shares. Accordingly, [●] being the stock exchange with highest trading volume, the closing price was INR [●] and hence all Eligible Shareholders holding not more than [●] Equity Shares as on the Record Date are classified as ‘Small Shareholders’ for the purpose of the Buyback.

31

  • (d) Based on the above definition, there are [●] Small Shareholders with aggregate shareholding of [●] Equity Shares (as on the Record Date), which constitutes [●]% of the total paid-up Equity Share capital of the Company and [●] % of the [●] ([●] only) Equity Shares which are proposed to be bought back as part of this Buyback.

  • (e) In furtherance to Regulation 6 of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the reservation for the Small Shareholders (Reserved Category), will be higher of:

  • (i) 15% of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to Buyback, which works out to 15,00,000 (Fifteen Lakhs) Equity Shares; or

  • (ii) number of Equity Shares as per their entitlement as on the Record Date (i.e., [●] / [●] × [●]), which works out to [●] Equity Shares. All the outstanding Equity Shares have been used for computing the Buyback Entitlement of Small Shareholders since the promoters and members of the promoter group also intend to participate in the Buyback.

In case the total number of Equity Shares held by the Small Shareholders on the Record Date is [●], which is less than [●] (higher of (i) and (ii) above), the maximum number of Equity Shares reserved for Small Shareholders will be restricted to the total number of Equity Shares held by the Small Shareholders as on Record Date.

  • (f) Based on the above and in accordance with Regulation 6 of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, [●] Equity Shares will be reserved for Small Shareholders. Accordingly, General Category shall consist of [●] Equity Shares.

  • (g) In order to ensure that the same Eligible Shareholder with multiple demat accounts/ folios do not receive a higher entitlement under the Small Shareholder category, the Equity Shares held by such Eligible Shareholder with a common PAN shall be clubbed together for determining the category (Small Shareholder or General Category) and the Buyback Entitlement. In case of joint shareholding, the Equity Shares held in cases where the sequence of the PANs of the joint shareholders is identical shall be clubbed together. In case of Eligible Shareholders holding physical shares, where the sequence of PANs is identical and where the PANs of all joint shareholders are not available, the Registrar will check the sequence of the names of the joint holders and club together the Equity Shares held in such cases where the sequence of the PANs and name of joint shareholders are identical. The shareholding of institutional investors like mutual funds, insurance companies, foreign institutional investors/ foreign portfolio investors etc. with common PAN are not proposed to be clubbed together for determining their entitlement and will be considered separately, where these Equity Shares are held for different schemes/ subaccounts and have a different demat account nomenclature based on information prepared by the Registrar as per the shareholder records received from the Depositories. Further, the Equity Shares held under the category of “clearing members” or “corporate body margin account” or “corporate body – broker” as per the beneficial position data as on Record Date with common PAN are not proposed to be clubbed together for determining their entitlement and will be considered separately, where these Equity Shares are assumed to be held on behalf of clients.

  • (h) Based on the aforementioned, the entitlement ratio of Buyback for both categories is set forth below:

Category Entitlement ratio in the Buyback
Reserved Category for Small Shareholders [●] Equity Shares out of every [●] Equity Shares held
on the Record Date
General
Category
for
all
other
Eligible
Shareholders
[●] Equity Shares out of every [●] Equity Shares held
on the Record Date

Note: The above ratio of Buyback is approximate and provides an indicative Buyback Entitlement. Any computation of entitled Equity Shares using the above ratio may provide a slightly different number due to rounding off.

20.6 Fractional Entitlements

If the Buyback Entitlement under Buyback, after applying the above-mentioned ratios to the Equity Shares (held on the Record Date), is not a round number (not in the multiple of 1 (one) Equity Share), then the fractional entitlement shall be ignored for computation of the Buyback Entitlement to tender Equity Shares in the Buyback for both categories of Eligible Shareholders.

32

On account of ignoring the fractional entitlement, those Small Shareholders who hold [●] or less Equity Shares (as on the Record Date) will be dispatched a Tender Form with zero entitlement. Such Small Shareholders are entitled to tender Additional Equity Shares as part of the Buyback and will be given preference in the Acceptance of one Equity Share, if such Small Shareholders have tendered for Additional Equity Shares.

20.7 Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares validly tendered in the Reserved Category:

In accordance with the Letter of Offer and Tender Form, the Acceptance in the Buyback from the Reserved Category will be implemented in the following order of priority:

  • (a) Full Acceptance from Small Shareholders in the Reserved Category, who have validly tendered their Equity Shares to the extent of their Buyback Entitlement, or the number of Equity Shares tendered by them, whichever is less.

  • (b) Post-acceptance as described in paragraph 20.7 (a) above, in case there are any Equity Shares left to be bought back from the Small Shareholders who were entitled to tender zero Equity Shares (on account of ignoring the fractional entitlement) and have tendered Additional Equity Shares as part of the Buyback, shall be given preference and one Equity Share each from the Additional Equity Shares tendered by such Small Shareholders would be bought back in the Reserved Category.

  • (c) Post-acceptance as described in paragraphs 20.7(a) and 20.7(b) above, in case there are any validly tendered unaccepted Equity Shares in the Reserved Category and any Equity Shares left to be bought back in the Reserved Category, the Additional Equity Shares tendered by the Small Shareholders over and above their Buyback Entitlement, shall be accepted in proportion of the Additional Equity Shares tendered by them and the Acceptances shall be made in accordance with the SEBI Buyback Regulations (valid Acceptance per Small Shareholder shall be equal to the Additional Equity Shares validly tendered by them divided by the total Additional Equity Shares validly tendered by the Small Shareholders and multiplied by the total number of Equity Shares remaining to be bought back in Reserved Category). For the purpose of this calculation, the Additional Equity Shares taken into account for the Small Shareholders, from whom one Equity Share has been Accepted in accordance with Paragraph 20.7 (b) above, shall be reduced by one.

  • (d) The procedure of adjustment for fractional results in case of proportionate Acceptance, as described in Paragraph 20.7 (c) above, is set forth below:

  • (i) For any Small Shareholder, if the number of Additional Equity Shares to be Accepted, calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 (one) and the fractional Acceptance is greater than or equal to 0.50, then the fraction would be rounded off to the next higher integer.

  • (ii) For any Small Shareholder, if the number of Additional Equity Shares to be Accepted, calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 (one) and the fractional Acceptance is less than 0.50, then the fraction shall be ignored.

20.8 Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares validly tendered in the General Category:

In accordance with the Draft Letter of Offer and Tender Form, the Acceptance in the Buyback from the General Category will be implemented in the following order of priority:

  • (a) Full Acceptance in the General Category from the Eligible Shareholders who have validly tendered their Equity Shares, to the extent of their Buyback Entitlement, or the number of Equity Shares tendered by them, whichever is less.

  • (b) Post-acceptance as described in Paragraph 20.8 (a) above, in case there are any validly unaccepted Equity Shares in the General Category and the Equity Shares left to be bought back in the General Category, the Additional Equity Shares tendered by the Eligible Shareholders under the General Category over and above their Buyback Entitlement shall be Accepted in proportion of the Additional Equity Shares tendered by them and the Acceptances shall be made in accordance with the SEBI Buyback Regulations (valid Acceptance per such Eligible Shareholder shall be equal to the Additional Equity Shares validly tendered by them divided by the total Additional Equity Shares

33

validly tendered in the General Category and multiplied by the total number of Equity Shares remaining to be bought back in General Category).

  • (c) Adjustment for fractional results in case of proportionate acceptance as described in Paragraph 20.8 (b) above is set forth below:

  • (i) For any Eligible Shareholder, if the number of Additional Equity Shares to be accepted, calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1(one) and the fractional Acceptance is greater than or equal to 0.50, then the fraction would be rounded off to the next higher integer

  • (ii) For any Eligible Shareholder if the number of Additional Equity Shares to be accepted, calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 (one) and the fractional Acceptance is less than 0.50, then the fraction shall be ignored.

20.9 Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares between Categories:

  • (a) In case there are any Equity Shares left to be bought back in one category (“ Partially Filled Category ”) after Acceptance in accordance with the above described methodology for both the categories, and there are additional unaccepted validly tendered Equity Shares in the second category, then the Additional Equity Shares in the second category shall be Accepted proportionately (valid Acceptances per Eligible Shareholder shall be equal to the additional outstanding Equity Shares validly tendered by a Eligible Shareholder in the second category divided by the total additional outstanding Equity Shares validly tendered in the second category and multiplied by the total pending number of Equity Shares to be bought back in the Partially Filled Category).

  • (b) If the Partially Filled Category is the General Category, and the second category is the Reserved Category for Small Shareholders, then for the purpose of this calculation, the Additional Equity Shares tendered by such Small Shareholders, from whom one Equity Share has been accepted in accordance with “ Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares validly tendered in the Reserved Category ” will be reduced by one Equity Share.

  • (c) Adjustment for fraction results in case of proportionate Acceptance, as described in Paragraph 20.9 (a) above is set forth below:

  • (i) For any Eligible Shareholder, if the number of Additional Equity Shares to be Accepted, calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 (one) and the fractional Acceptance is greater than or equal to 0.50, then the fraction would be rounded off to the next higher integer.

  • (ii) For any Eligible Shareholder, if the number of Additional Equity Shares to be Accepted, calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 (one) and the fractional Acceptance is less than 0.50, then the fraction shall be ignored.

20.10 For avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that:

  • (a) the Equity Shares Accepted under the Buyback from each Eligible Shareholder, in accordance with paragraphs above, shall not exceed the number of Equity Shares tendered by the respective Eligible Shareholder;

  • (b) the Equity Shares Accepted under the Buyback from each Eligible Shareholder, in accordance with paragraphs above, shall not exceed the number of Equity Shares held by respective Eligible Shareholder as on the Record Date; and

22. NOTE ON TAXATION

Disclosures in this section are based on expert opinion sought by the Company from M/s A S H M & Associates, Chartered Accountants.

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 EXCHANGE SET OUT BELOW SHOULD BE TREATED AS INDICATIVE AND FOR GUIDANCE PURPOSES ONLY.

1. General

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 nonresident 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

41

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, non-applicability 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 two 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.

  • 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. April1, 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 buyback 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 July5, 2019 in the hands of a Non-resident as well, the same may be subject to tax in the country of residence of the

42

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. Non-resident shareholders need to consult their tax advisors with regard to availability of such a tax credit.

4. Tax Deduction at Source

Currently, there are no provisions for tax deduction at source in respect of income earned from transfer/ buyback 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. In view of the specific nature of tax consequences, shareholders who are not tax residents of India are required to consult their tax advisors for the applicable tax and the appropriate course of action that they should take considering the provisions of the relevant Country or State tax law and provisions of DTAA where applicable.
