@Bhuvan
We can’t participate in open market buyback?
Who can participate and what is it’s process?

Open market buyback means company will buy shares at nse/bse through a broker like you and me buy at prevailing price subject to max rs 800 per share .right now too there are 4 live cases of such buybacks in market and very recent past cases were BSE ltd ,Lakshmi machines etc .

5

Actually such is euphoria that people assume every buyback to be proportionate method buyback. one may kindly note that even nowadays in this era of Dividend distribution tax and Dividend tax , there are more number of Open market buyback cases compare to Proportionate method buyback .
Open market buyback is cheaper and give the company a long rope .

6

so it means company will buy it’s shares at as least as possible price but will be ready to pay the maximum of 800rs/share.
Am I right?

7

YES , and buyback will start sometime in February end after postal ballot approval etc and will remain open for 6 months . the company can close mid way too after achieving /utilizing 50% of target amount.
