Infosys Shares Buyback 2025.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Infosys Buyback:<\/strong> Infosys, the country\u2019s second-largest IT services company, has announced the record date for its largest-ever share buyback programme.<\/p>\n

1. Infosys Buyback Size<\/h3>\n

Infosys has announced its largest-ever share buyback programme amounting to Rs 18,000 crore.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Board of Directors of the company at their meeting held on September 11, 2025, has considered and approved a proposal to buyback equity shares for an amount of Rs 18,000 crore at a price of Rs 1,800 per equity share,” Infosys said in an exchange filing.<\/p>\n

2. Infosys Buyback: Record Date<\/h3>\n

Infosys has fixed October 27 as the record date for buyback to determine the eligibility of shareholders set to receive the payment.<\/p>\n

4. Promoters Not To Participate In Buyback<\/h3>\n

In an exchange filing dated October 22, Infosys stated that its promoters and the promoter group would not be participating in the company\u2019s upcoming buyback. As of September 30, 2025, the promoters and promoter group collectively held a 14.30 percent stake in Infosys, with the remaining 85.46 percent owned by the public. Among the individual promoters, co-founder Nandan Nilekani held a 1.08 percent stake, while co-founders NR Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy held 0.40 percent and 0.91 percent, respectively. Their children, Rohan Murthy and Akshata Murthy, owned 1.60 percent and 1.03 percent each.<\/p>\n

Co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan held a 0.84 percent stake in the company, whereas his wife, Sudha Gopalakrishnan, owned 2.52 percent, making her the largest individual shareholder among the promoters. The announcement clarifies that the buyback will be entirely funded by public shareholders, with the promoter group opting not to participate in this capital return exercise.<\/p>\n

4. Infosys Share Buyback: How Will Your Gains Be Taxed?<\/h3>\n

Before October 1, 2024, the tax on buybacks used to be paid by the company on the income distributed. However, as part of the Union Budget 2024 announcement, any buyback after October 1, 2024, will be taxed in the hands of investors as deemed dividend under the \u2018income from other sources\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs per the amendment in Budget 2024, tax on any buyback made after 1st October, 2024 will not be applicable in the hands of the Company. However, the tax will be payable by the recipient shareholder on the total amount received from the buyback as deemed dividend in accordance with the newly inserted provision of Section 2(22)(f),” Cleartax said in its blog.<\/p>\n

So, the Infosys buyback will be taxed in the hands of investors as a dividend income under the head \u2018income from other sources\u2019 at the applicable income tax slab. For instance, if you fall in the 20% tax bracket, the Rs 275 will be taxed at the rate of 20% (Rs 55 per share).<\/p>\n

5. Infosys Share Buyback: How To Apply?<\/h3>\n

If you want to participate in an Infosys buyback, here\u2019s the step-by-step process:<\/p>\n

1. Check the record date and ensure your Infosys shares are in your demat by that date. It is important to note that the record date has not been announced yet.<\/p>\n

2. Read the Letter of Offer (LoF) to note buyback price, window, size and entitlement.<\/p>\n

3. Check your entitlement (how many shares you can tender) and decide quantity (you may oversubscribe).<\/p>\n

4. Log in to your broker and go to Corporate Actions \u2192 Buyback, select the Infosys buyback and enter quantity.<\/p>\n

5. Or submit the Tender Form to your broker\/registrar offline if you prefer paper submission.<\/p>\n

6. Broker\/DP will block\/debit the tendered shares from your demat (you don\u2019t pay money).<\/p>\n

7. After the window closes, check the acceptance\/scale-down announcement (pro rata if oversubscribed). The Infosys buyback represents up to 2.41 per cent of the company\u2019s total paid-up equity share capital.<\/p>\n

8. Accepted shares are debited and proceeds credited to your bank account via your DP (typically within a week or two).<\/p>\n
