Infosys Buyback: Today Is Last Day to Qualify for Rs 18,000 Crore Tender at Rs 1,800

Under post‑Budget rules, cash received in the offer will be taxed in investors’ hands as income from other sources.

Overview

  • Infosys has set November 14, 2025 as the record date, so under T+1 settlement only shares bought by November 13 will be eligible.
  • The company plans to repurchase up to 10 crore shares—about 2.41% of equity—via a tender offer at Rs 1,800, with acceptance to be determined pro rata.
  • Promoters have opted out of participating, with the promoter group collectively staying on the sidelines.
  • Roughly 15% of the offer is reserved for small shareholders with holdings under Rs 2 lakh, which typically improves retail acceptance ratios.
  • Proceeds will be taxed at each investor’s slab rate as income from other sources, the investment is treated as a capital loss that can offset gains, and the company must deduct 10% TDS for resident shareholders.
