A share buyback is a corporate action where a company offers to purchase its own shares from existing shareholders at a predetermined price within a specified period. If you hold the shares on the record date, you can tender them through ATS — log in to ipo.adityatrading.in and go to the Offer for Sale (OFS) / Buyback section. Buybacks are one of several corporate actions that affect your holdings.
How to tender shares in a buyback through ATS
- Log in to ipo.adityatrading.in with your credentials.
- Navigate to Offer for Sale (OFS) / Buyback.
- Select the active buyback offer.
- Choose the eligible shares you wish to tender.
- Review your order details, then confirm and submit.
- You will receive a confirmation after successful submission.
Record date decides eligibilityThe record date is the date on which the company determines the shareholders eligible to participate. You must hold the shares in your demat on that date.
Acceptance, payment & unaccepted shares
- Not all tendered shares are accepted — acceptance depends on the company's buyback ratio, your entitlement, and the total shares tendered.
- Payment for accepted shares is credited as per the schedule announced by the company and the exchanges.
- Unaccepted shares are returned to your demat account after the buyback completes.
- Gains on shares sold in a buyback follow capital-gains rules — see our tax on stock trading guide.
