The maximum amount required by the Company for the Buyback Offer Size will be met out of its free

aggregate of secured and unsecured debts owed by the Company shall not be more than twice the fully
paid-up share capital and free reserves after the Buyback.

The Buyback Offer Price of ₹ 86 (Rupees Eighty Six only) per Equity Share has been arrived at after
considering various factors such as the volume weighted average price of the Equity Shares on the Stock
Exchanges, the net-worth of the Company and the impact of the Buyback on the key financial ratios of the

like Transaction Costs.

Promoter in the Company may increase or decrease from the existing 63.06% holding in the total paid-up

36.94% of the post Buyback equity share capital of the Company.

 In terms of Regulation 38 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, the Company shall comply with the minimum
public shareholding requirements as specified in Rule 19(2) and Rule 19A of the Securities Contracts

7 AUTHORITY FOR THE BUYBACK

The Buyback is in accordance with the provisions of Article 5A of the Articles of Association of the
Company, Sections 68, 69, 70 and all other applicable provisions, of the Companies Act, 2013, as
amended and all applicable Rules made thereunder, SEBI Listing Regulations, the Buyback Regulations
and subject to such other approvals, permissions and sanctions as may be necessary, from time to time
from statutory authorities including but not limited to SEBI and the Stock Exchanges.

The Board of Directors at their meeting held on October 25, 2018 passed a resolution approving buyback
of Equity Shares of the Company.

8 NECESSITY OF THE BUYBACK

Share buyback is the acquisition by a company of its own shares. The objective is to return surplus cash to
the members holding equity shares of the Company. The Board at its meeting held on October 25, 2018,
considered the accumulated free reserves as well as the cash liquidity reflected in the audited accounts for
the financial year ended March 31, 2018 and considering these, the Board decided to allocate a sum of `
1628,29,51,470 (Rupees One Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Eight Crore, Twenty Nine Lakh, Fifty
One Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy only) for returning to the members holding equity shares of the
Company through the Buyback.

After considering several factors and benefits to the members holding equity shares of the Company, the
Board decided to recommend Buyback of 18,93,36,645 (Eighteen Crores, Ninety Three Lakhs, Thirty Six
Thousand, Six Hundred and Forty Five Only) equity shares (representing 5.16 % of the total issued and
paid-up share capital of the Company) at a price of ` 86 (Rupees Eighty Six Only) per equity share for an
aggregate consideration of ` 1628,29,51,470 (Rupees One Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Eight Crore,
Twenty Nine Lakh, Fifty One Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy only). Buyback is a more efficient
form of returning surplus cash to the members holding equity shares of the Company, inter-alia, for the
following reasons:

i. The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus cash to its members holding equity shares
broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to members;

ii. The Buyback, which is being implemented through the Tender Offer route as prescribed under the
Buyback Regulations, would require allocation of higher of number of shares as per their
entitlement or 15% of the number of shares to be bought back, reserved for the Small Shareholders.
The Company believes that this reservation of 15% 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 Buyback Regulations;

iii. The Buyback would help in improving return on equity, by reduction in the equity base, thereby
leading to long term increase in shareholders’ value;

iv. The Buyback gives an option to the members holding equity shares of the Company, who can
choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback offer or
they may choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding,
post the Buyback offer, without additional investment.

v. Optimizes the capital structure.

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
except a reduction in the amount available for investment, which the Company could have otherwise
deployed towards generating investment income. Assuming there is full response to the Buyback (100%
acceptance), the funds deployed by the Company towards the Buyback would be ` 1628,29,51,470 (Rupees

15
 One Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Eight Crore, Twenty Nine Lakh, Fifty One Thousand, Four
Hundred and Seventy only).

9.2 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. The Buyback is expected to contribute to the overall
enhancement of shareholder value and result in an increase in the return on equity of the Company.

9.3 In terms of the Buyback Regulations, under the Tender Offer process, the Promoter of the Company has the
option to participate in the Buyback. In this regard, the Promoter i.e. President of India acting through and
represented by the Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, Government of India has expressed
its intention, vide its letter dated October 25, 2018, to participate in the Buyback and tender upto
18,93,36,645 (Eighteen Crores, Ninety Three Lakhs, Thirty Six Thousand, Six Hundred and Forty Five
Only) Equity Shares of the Company.

 Equity Share, payable in cash for an aggregate consideration of ₹ 1628,29,51,470 (Rupees One Thousand
Six Hundred and Twenty Eight Crore, Twenty Nine Lakh, Fifty One Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy
Only). The Buyback is in accordance with the provisions of Article 5A of the Articles of Association of the
Company, Section 68, 69, 70 and all other applicable provisions, of the Companies Act, 2013, and rules
made thereunder, the Buyback Regulations and subject to such other approvals, permissions and sanctions
as may be necessary, from time to time from statutory authorities including but not limited to SEBI, Stock

paid-up share capital and free reserves as per the audited accounts of the Company for the financial year
ended March 31, 2018 (the last audited financial statements available as on the date of Board Meeting
recommending the proposal of the Buyback) and is within the statutory limits of 10% of the aggregate of
fully paid up share capital and free reserves as per the audited accounts of the Company for the Financial
Year ended March 31, 2018.
The Company expresses no opinion as to whether Eligible Shareholders should participate in the Buyback
and, accordingly, Eligible Shareholders are advised to consult their own advisors to consider participation
in the Buyback.
19.2 The aggregate shareholding of the Promoter as on the Record Date (i.e. November 06, 2018) is
231,51,78,000 (Two Hundred Thirty One Crores Fifty One Lakhs and Seventy Eight Thousand) Equity
Shares, which represents 63.06 % of the existing Equity Share capital of the Company. In terms of the
Buyback Regulations, under the Tender Offer process, the Promoter of the Company has the option to
participate in the Buyback. In this regard, the Promoter i.e. President of India acting through and
represented by the Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, Government of India has expressed
its intention, vide its letter dated October 25, 2018, to participate in the Buyback and tender upto
18,93,36,645 (Eighteen Crores, Ninety Three Lakhs, Thirty Six Thousand, Six Hundred and Forty Five
Only) Equity Shares of the Company.

19.3 Assuming response to the Buyback is to the extent of 100% (full acceptance) from all the Eligible
Shareholders upto their Buyback Entitlement, the aggregate shareholding of the Promoter post Buyback
may increase from the existing 63.06% to 63.44% of the post Buyback Equity Share capital of the
Company.

19.4 Record Date, Ratio of Buyback and entitlement of each Shareholder

a) The Board of Directors at their meeting held on October 25, 2018 announced Tuesday, November
06, 2018 as the Record Date for the purpose of determining the Buyback Entitlement and the names
of the Shareholders, who are eligible to participate in the Buyback Offer.

b) The Equity Shares proposed to be bought back by the Company shall be divided in two categories:

• Reserved category for Small Shareholders (“Reserved Category”); and

• General category for all Eligible Shareholders other than Small Shareholders (“General
Category”)

c) As defined in the Buyback Regulations, a “Small Shareholder” is a shareholder who holds

Equity Shares having market value, on the basis of closing price on the Stock Exchanges in
which the highest trading volume as on Record Date, of not more than ` 2,00,000 (Rupees Two
Lakh). As on Record Date, the volume of Shares traded on NSE was 93,97,104 Shares and on
BSE was 7,32,611 Shares. Accordingly, NSE being the stock exchange with highest turnover,
the closing price was ` 69.30 and hence all Shareholders holding not more than 2,886 Equity
Shares as on the Record Date are classified as ‘Small Shareholders’ for the purpose of the
Buyback Offer.

d) Based on the above definition, there are 5,12,666 Small Shareholders with aggregate shareholding
of 15,44,37,270 Shares, as on Record Date, which constitutes 4.21% of the outstanding number of
Equity Shares of the Company.

e) In compliance with Regulation 6 of the Buyback Regulations, the reservation for the Small
Shareholders, will be 2,84,00,497 Equity Shares which is higher of:

i. Fifteen percent of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to Buyback i.e.

33
 15% of 18,93,36,645 Equity Shares which works out to 2,84,00,497 Equity Shares; or
ii. The number of Equity Shares entitled as per their shareholding as on Record Date [i.e.
(18,93,36,645/367,14,00,000) x 15,44,37,270] which works out to 79,64,438 Equity Shares.

All the outstanding Equity Shares have been used for computing the entitlement of Small
Shareholders.

f) Based on the above and in accordance with Regulation 6 of the Buyback Regulations, 2,84,00,497
Equity Shares will be reserved for Small Shareholders (“Reserved Portion”). Accordingly,
General Category shall consist of 16,09,36,148 Equity Shares (“General Portion”).

g) Clubbing of Entitlements

In order to ensure that the same Eligible Shareholders 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 Permanent Account Number (“PAN”) shall be clubbed
together for determining the category (Small Shareholder or General) and entitlement under the
Buyback. 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, FIIs/ FPIs 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 above entitlements, the Ratio of Buyback for both categories is decided as below:

Category of Shareholders Ratio of Buyback

Reserved Category 16 Equity Shares out of every 87 fully paid-up Equity
Shares held on the Record Date
General Category 34 Equity Shares out of every 743 fully paid-up Equity
Shares held on the Record Date

19.5 Fractional Entitlements

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

On account of ignoring the fractional entitlement, those Small Shareholders who hold 5 (Five) or less
Equity Shares as on 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 Offer and will be given
preference in the Acceptance of 1 (one) Equity Share, if such Small Shareholders have tendered for
Additional Equity Shares. The Company shall make best efforts subject to Buyback Regulations in
accepting Equity Shares tendered by such Shareholders to the extent possible and permissible.

34
19.6 Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares validly tendered in the Reserved Category

Subject to the provisions contained in this Letter of Offer and Tender Form, the Company will accept the

tendered by them, whichever is less.

b) Post the acceptance as described in 19.6 (a) above, in case, there are any Shares left to be bought
back from Small Shareholders in the Reserved Category, the Small Shareholders who were entitled
to tender zero Shares (on account of ignoring the fractional entitlement), and have tendered
Additional Shares, shall be given preference and 1 (one) Equity Share each from the Additional
Shares tendered by these Small Shareholders shall be bought back in the Reserved Category.

c) Post the acceptance as described in 19.6 (a) and (b) above, in case, there are any validly tendered
unaccepted Shares in the Reserved Category (“Reserved Category Additional Shares”) and Shares
left to be bought back in Reserved Category, the Reserved Category Additional Shares shall be
accepted in a proportionate manner and the acceptances shall be made in accordance with the
Buyback Regulations, i.e. valid acceptances per Shareholder shall be equal to the Reserved Category
Additional Shares tendered by the Shareholder divided by the total Reserved Category Additional
Shares and multiplied by the total number of Shares remaining to be bought back in Reserved
Category. For the purpose of this calculation, the Reserved Category Additional Shares taken into
account for such Small Shareholders, from whom 1 (one) Equity Share has been accepted in
accordance with (b) above, shall be reduced by one.

d) Adjustment for fractional results in case of proportionate acceptance, as described in (c) above, will
be made as follows:

 For any Small Shareholder, if the number of Additional Shares to be accepted, calculated on
a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 and the fractional acceptance is greater than
or equal to 0.50, then the fraction would be rounded off to the next higher integer.
 For any Small Shareholder, if the number of Additional Shares to be accepted, calculated on

unaccepted Shares in the General Category (“General Category Additional Shares”) and Shares
left to be bought back in General Category, the General Category Additional Shares shall be
accepted in a proportionate manner and the acceptances shall be made in accordance with the
Buyback Regulations, i.e. valid acceptances per Eligible Shareholder shall be equal to the General
Category Additional Shares validly tendered by the Eligible Shareholders divided by the total
General Category Additional Shares and multiplied by the total number of Shares remaining to be
bought back in General Category.

c) Adjustment for fractional results in case of proportionate acceptance, as described in paragraph 19.7
(b) above, will be made as follows:

 For any Eligible Shareholder, if the number of Additional Shares to be accepted, calculated
on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 (one) and the fractional acceptance is

Additional Equity Shares validly tendered by an Eligible Shareholder in the Reserved Category divided
by the total Additional Equity Shares validly tendered in the Reserved Category and multiplied by the
Additional Equity Shares that can be accepted due to shortfall in the General Portion.

c. A Small Shareholder who has received a Tender Form with zero Buyback Entitlement and who has
tendered Additional Shares shall be eligible for priority Acceptance of one Equity Share before
Acceptance, as mentioned above, out of the Equity Shares left to be bought back in the General Category,

20.20 Procedure to be followed by Eligible Shareholders holding Equity Shares in the dematerialised form

Eligible Shareholders who desire to tender their Equity Shares in the electronic/dematerialized form under
the Buyback would have to do so through their respective Shareholder Broker by indicating to them, the
details of Equity Shares they intend to tender under the Buyback. The Shareholder Broker would be
required to place an order/bid on behalf of the Eligible Shareholders who wish to tender their Shares in the
Buyback using Acquisition Window of BSE.

Before placing the bid, the Eligible Shareholder is required to transfer the Equity Shares to the special
account of the Indian Clearing Corporation Limited (“Clearing Corporation”), specifically created for the
purpose of Buy-back Offer (“Special Account”) by using the early pay in mechanism prescribed by the
BSE or the Clearing Corporation prior to placing the bid by the Shareholder Broker. This shall be validated
by the Shareholder Broker at the time of order/ bid entry. The details of the settlement number for the
Buyback will be provided in a separate circular which shall be issued at the time of issue opening by BSE
and/or the Clearing Corporation. Modification/ cancellation of orders will be allowed during the Tendering
Period. The details of the Special Account of the Clearing Corporation shall be informed in the issue
opening circular that will be issued by the BSE and/or the Clearing Corporation.

For custodian participant orders for demat Equity Shares, early pay-in is mandatory prior to confirmation of
order/bid by custodians. The custodian shall either confirm or reject the orders not later than closing of
trading hours on the last day of the Tendering Period (Buyback Closing Date). Thereafter, all unconfirmed
orders shall be deemed to be rejected. For all confirmed custodian participant orders, any order
modification shall revoke the custodian confirmation and the revised order shall be sent to the custodian
again for confirmation.

Upon placing the bid, the Shareholder Broker shall provide a Transaction Registration Slip (“TRS”)
generated by the exchange bidding system to the Eligible Shareholder on whose behalf the bid has been
placed. TRS will contain details of order submitted like Bid ID No., Application No., DP ID, Client ID,
Number of Equity Shares tendered etc.

Eligible Shareholders who have tendered their Equity Shares in the Buyback may deliver the Tender Form
duly signed (by all Shareholders in case shares are in joint names) in the same order in which they hold the
shares, along with the TRS generated by the exchange bidding system either by registered post or courier or
hand delivery to the Registrar to the Buyback at the address mentioned on the cover page of this Letter of
Offer) not later than 2 (two) working days from the Buyback Closing Date i.e. Saturday, December 29,
2018 (by 05:00 p.m.). The envelope should be superscribed as “BHEL Buyback Offer 2018”.

It is clarified that in case of demat Equity Shares, submission of the Tender Form and TRS is not
mandatory. After the receipt of the demat Equity Shares in the accounts of the Clearing Corporation and a
valid bid in the exchange bidding system, the bid for Buyback shall be deemed to have been accepted, for
Eligible Shareholders holding the Equity Shares in demat form.

The Eligible Shareholders will have to ensure that they keep the DP Account active and unblocked to
receive credit in case of return of Equity Shares due to rejection or partial acceptance. Further, Eligible
Shareholders will have to ensure that they keep the savings bank account attached to the DP account active
and updated to receive credit remittance due to acceptance of Buyback of shares by the Company.

Excess demat Equity Shares or unaccepted demat Equity Shares, if any, tendered by the Eligible
Shareholders would be returned to them by Clearing Corporation. If the securities transfer instruction is
rejected in the depository system, due to any issue then such securities will be transferred to the
Shareholder Broker’s depository pool account for onward transfer to the Eligible Shareholder. In case of
custodian participant orders, excess demat Shares or unaccepted demat Shares, if any, will be returned to
the respective custodian depository pool account.

Eligible Shareholders shall also provide all relevant documents, which are necessary to ensure
transferability of the Equity Shares in respect of the Tender Form to be sent. Such documents may include
(but not be limited to):

40
 i. Duly attested power of attorney, if any person other than the Eligible Shareholder has signed the
Tender Form;

ii. Duly attested death certificate and succession certificate/ legal heirship certificate, in case any
Eligible Shareholder has expired; and

iii. In case of companies, the necessary certified corporate authorizations (including board and/ or
general meeting resolutions).

20.21 Procedure to be followed by registered Eligible Shareholders holding Equity Shares in the Physical

21 NOTE ON TAXATION

Disclosures in this paragraph are based on expert opinion sought by the Company.

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.

IN VIEW OF THE PARTICULARISED 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 SUCH ADVICE. THEREFORE, SHAREHOLDERS CANNOT RELY ON THIS
ADVICE AND THE SUMMARY TAX IMPLICATIONS RELATING TO THE TREATMENT OF
INCOME TAX IN THE CASE OF BUY BACK OF LISTED EQUITY SHARES ON THE STOCK
EXCHANGE SET OUT BELOW SHOULD BE TREATED AS INDICATIVE AND FOR GUIDANCE
PURPOSES ONLY.

45
1. GENERAL

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
taxation in India on his worldwide income, subject to certain tax exemptions, which are provided under the
Income Tax Act, 1961 (“the Income Tax Act”).

A person who is treated as non-resident for Indian income-tax purposes is generally subject to tax in India
only on such person’s India sourced income or income received by such person in India. In case of shares
of a Company, the source of income from shares would depend on the “situs” of such shares. As per judicial
precedents, generally the “situs” of the shares is where company is “incorporated” and where its shares can be
transferred. Accordingly, since Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited is incorporated in India, the shares of Bharat
Heavy Electricals Limited 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 Income Tax Act. Further, the non-resident can avail the
beneficial provisions of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (‘DTAA’) between India and the respective
jurisdiction of the shareholder subject to meeting relevant conditions and providing and maintaining necessary
information and documents as prescribed under the Income Tax Act.

The Income Tax Act also provides for different tax regimes/ rates applicable to the gains arising on buyback of
shares, based on the period of holding, residential status and category of the shareholder, nature of the income
earned, etc. The summary tax implications on buyback of listed equity shares on the stock exchange is set out
below. All references to equity shares in this note refer to listed equity shares unless stated otherwise.

2. CLASSIFICATION OF SHAREHOLDERS

Based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act, shareholders can be classified under the following categories:

a) Resident Shareholders being:

 Individuals, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), Association of Persons (AOP) and Body of
Individuals (BOI)
 Others

b) Non Resident Shareholders being:

 Non Resident Indians (NRIs)
 Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs)
 Foreign Companies
 Others

3. CLASSIFICATION OF INCOME

Shares can be classified under the following two categories:

a) Shares held as investment (Profit or Gains arising from transfer taxable under the head “Capital
Gains”)

b) Shares held a s st o ck-in-trade (Profit or Gains arising fro m t ra n sfe r ta xa bl e under t he hea d
“Profits and Gains from Business or Profession”)

Gains arising from the transfer of shares may be treated either as “capital gains” or as “business income” for tax
purposes, depending upon whether such shares were held as a capital asset or trading asset (i.e. stock-in-trade).
Traditionally, the issue of characterisation of income arising from sale of shares has been a subject matter of
litigation with the tax authorities. There have been various judicial pronouncements on whether gains from
transactions in securities should be taxed as “business profits” or as “capital gains”. However, these
pronouncements, while laying down certain guiding principles have largely been driven by the facts and
circumstances of each case. Central Board of Direct Taxation (CBDT) the apex body of Income-Tax has issued
Circular No. 6 of 2016, as per which, if the taxpayer opts to consider the shares as stock-in-trade, the income
arising from the transfer of such shares would be treated as its business income. Also, if such shares are held for
a period of more than 12 months, if the taxpayer desires to treat the income arising from the transfer thereof as
“capital gains”, the same shall not be put to dispute by Income Tax Authorities. However, the choice on
characterization, once taken by the taxpayer should be consistent, and shall apply for subsequent years as well.

46
 Further, investments by FIIs in any securities in accordance with the regulations made under the Securities
Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 would be treated as capital asset under the provisions of the Income Tax
Act.

3.1 SHARES HELD AS INVESTMENT

As per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, where the shares are held as investments, income arising from the
transfer of such shares is taxable under the head “Capital Gains”. Capital gains on buyback of shares are
governed by the provisions of section 46A of the Income Tax Act and would attract capital gains in the hands
of shareholders as per provisions of section 48 of the Income Tax Act. The provisions of Income Tax
Act related to buy back of shares under section 115QA in Chapter XII-DA of the Income Tax Act do not
apply to shares listed on the stock exchange.

3.1.1 Period of holding

Depending on the period for which the shares are held, the gains would be taxable as ‘short term capital gain’ or
‘long term capital gain’:

A. In respect of equity shares which are listed on a recognised Stock Exchange, held for a period less than or
equal to 12 months prior to the date of transfer, the same shall be treated as a ‘short-term capital asset’, and
the gains arising therefrom shall be taxable as ‘short term capital gains’ (“STCG”).

B. Similarly, where equity shares which are listed on a recognised Stock Exchange held for a period more
than 12 months prior to the date of transfer, the same shall be treated as a ‘long-term capital asset’, and the
gains arising therefrom shall be taxable as ‘long-term capital gains’ (“LTCG”).

3.1.2 Buyback of shares through a recognized stock exchange

Where transaction for transfer of such equity shares (i.e. buyback) is executed through a recognized stock
exchange, they are liable to Securities Transaction Tax (‘STT’). STT is a tax payable in India on the value of
securities on every purchase or sale of securities that are listed on the Indian Stock Exchange. Currently, the STT
rate applicable on the purchase or sale of shares on the stock exchange is 0.1% of the value of security.

The taxability of buyback proceeds would be as under:

 As per the provisions of the Income Tax Act as amended by the Finance Act, 2018, the exemption provided
u/s. 10(38) of Income Tax Act for LTCG has been withdrawn and tax @10% shall be levied on LTCG
exceeding ₹1 Lac in a financial year arising on transfer of listed equity shares without allowing the benefit
of indexation. However, gains accrued on such equity shares till 31st January, 2018 have been exempted by
providing that the cost of acquisition in respect of such equity shares which would be transferred on or after
1st April, 2018 shall be higher of:

i) the actual cost of acquisition of such equity shares acquired before 1st February, 2018 or

ii) the lower of the following:

a) the highest price of such equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange on the 31st
January, 2018; or
b) the actual sale value of such equity shares.

However, as per Income Tax Notification No. 60/2018 [F. NO. 370142/9/2017-TPL] dated 01.10.2018, an
exemption from the requirement of STT being paid at the time of acquisition of shares provided to certain modes
of acquisition including acquisition of shares by a non-resident under the FDI policy. If acquisition is made in such
specified modes, the rates specified above shall continue to apply, even if no STT was paid at the time of
acquisition of the shares.

If STT is not paid at the time of acquisition of the shares being bought back, entire LTCG arising to the
shareholder shall be subject to tax @ 10% under Section 112 of the IT Act (or 20% after claiming indexation
benefit which is relevant in case of resident shareholders).

47
 STCG arising from such transaction would be subject to tax @ 15% under section 111A of the
Income Tax Act, without any restriction on the mode of acquisition.

Further, resident corporate shareholders would also be subject to Minimum Alternate Tax under section 115JB
of the Income Tax Act at the rate of 18.50%. This would however be available for offset against taxes payable
by such corporate shareholders under normal tax provisions (subject to conditions). In addition to the Tax,
Surcharge and Health and Education Cess are leviable (Please refer to Note 5 for rate of surcharge and cess).

In case of resident Individual or HUF, the benefit of maximum amount which is not chargeable to
income-tax is considered while computing the tax on such STCG taxable under section 111A of the
Income Tax Act. In addition to the above STCG tax, Surcharge and Health a n d Education Cess are leviable
(Please refer to Note 5 for rate of surcharge and cess).

Non-resident shareholders can avail beneficial provisions of the applicable Double Taxation Avoidance
Agreement (‘DTAA’) entered into by India with relevant country in which the shareholder is resident but
subject to fulfilling relevant conditions and submitting/ maintaining necessary documents prescribed under the
Income Tax Act.

As an overall point, since the buyback is undertaken on the stock exchange, such transaction is
chargeable to Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”). STT is a tax payable in India on the value of securities on
every purchase or sale of securities that are listed on the Indian Stock Exchange. Currently, the STT rate
applicable on the purchase or sale of shares on the stock exchange is 0.1% of the transaction value separately
in the hands of the Seller and the Company.

3.2 SHARES HELD AS STOCK-IN-TRADE

If the shares are held as stock-in-trade by any of the shareholders of the Company, then the gains would be
characterized as business income and taxable under the head “Profits and Gains from Business or Profession”.
In such a case, the provisions of section 46A of the Income Tax Act would not apply.

3.2.1 Resident Shareholders

A. For individuals, HUF, AOP, BOI, profits would be taxable at slab rates.

B. Domestic Company having turnover or gross receipts not exceeding INR 250 crore of the previous year
2016-17 would be taxable @ 25%.

C. For persons other than stated in (A) & (B) above, profits would be taxable @ 30%.

In addition to the above, Surcharge and Health and Education Cess are leviable (Please refer to Note 5 for
rate of surcharge and cess).

No benefit of indexation by virtue of period of holding would be available in any case.

3.2.2 Non Resident Shareholders

a) Non-resident shareholders can avail beneficial provisions of the applicable Double Taxation Avoidance
Agreement (‘DTAA’) entered into by India with relevant country to which shareholder belongs but subject
to fulfilling relevant conditions and submitting/ maintaining necessary documents prescribed under the
Income Tax Act.

b) Where DTAA provisions are not applicable:

 For non-resident individuals, HUF, AOP, BOI, profits would be taxable at slab rates
 For foreign companies, profits would be taxed in India @ 40%
 For other non-resident shareholders, such as foreign firms, profits would be taxed in India @ 30%.

In a d d i t i o n to the a b o v e , S u r c h a r g e and H e a l t h and Education Cess are leviable (Please refer to

Note 5 for rate of surcharge and cess).

48
 4. TAX DEDUCTION AT SOURCE (TDS)

4.1 In case of Resident Shareholders

In the absence of any specific provision under the Income Tax Act, the Company is not required to deduct tax
on the consideration payable to resident shareholders pursuant to the said Buyback.

4.2 In case of Non-resident Shareholders

Under the Income Tax laws, any capital gains paid to a non-resident is subject to deduction of tax at source, unless
capital gains are realised by FIIs. However, since the buy-back is through the stock exchange, the company will not
be able to withhold any taxes, and thus, the company believes that the responsibility of withholding/discharge of the
taxes due on such gains (if any) is solely on the custodians/ authorised dealer/ non-resident shareholder with no
recourse to the company.

It is therefore important that the non-resident shareholder consult their custodians / authorised dealers / tax
advisors appropriately and immediately pay taxes in India (either through deduction at source or otherwise). In the
event the company is held liable for the tax liability of the shareholder, the same shall be to the account of the
shareholder and to that extent the company is entitled to be indemnified by such shareholder. The non-resident
shareholders also to provide undertaking to the Company, to provide on demand, the relevant details in respect of
the taxability/ non-taxability of the proceeds arising on buyback of Equity Shares by the Company, copy of tax
return filed in India, evidence of the tax paid etc.

5. RATE OF SURCHARGE AND CESS

In addition to the basic tax rate, Surcharge and Health and Education Cess are leviable as under:

5.1 Surcharge

 In case of domestic companies: Surcharge @ 12% is leviable where the total income exceeds
`10 crores and @ 7% where the total income exceeds ` 1 crore but upto ` 10 crores.

 In case of companies other than domestic companies: Surcharge @ 5% is leviable where the
total income exceeds ` 10 crores and @ 2% where the total income exceeds ` 1 crore but upto ` 10
crores.

 In case of Individuals, Hindu Undivided family, Association of Persons, and Body of

Individuals: Surcharge @15% is leviable where the total income exceeds ` 1 crore and @ 10%
where the total income exceeds ` 50 Lakhs but upto ` 1 crore.

 In case of Firms, Co-operative Societies, or Local Authorities: Surcharge @ 12% is leviable

where the total income exceeds ` 1 crore.

5.2 Cess

Health and education cess @ 4% is leviable on income taxe and surcharge, as applicable.

6. THE TAX RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS MAY UNDERGO CHANGES.

SHAREHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS FOR THE TREATMENT
THAT MAY BE GIVEN BY THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSESSING 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 SUCH
ADVICE.

The above note 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 equity shares. This note 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, shareholders should consult their own tax advisors for the tax
provisions applicable to their particular circumstances.
