Buybacks are one of those corporate actions many investors miss simply because they don’t notice them in time.
A company announces a Buyback, the window opens, the deadline gets closer, and unless investors are actively tracking it, the opportunity can easily pass by. Even when they know about it, the next questions are usually around eligibility, record date, forms, timelines, and settlement.
We felt this entire experience needed to become far simpler and far more visible.
No more searching around to participate in buybacks. We now show eligible buybacks right inside your portfolio. If you’re holding eligible shares, the Buyback option will appear beside the stock, along with the number of days left to apply.
Start Directly From Your Holdings
While you could already apply for buybacks on our platform, the option was tucked away under the My Account section, which may not be something you check every day. To make sure the opportunities don’t go unnoticed, we’ve now brought the buyback option closer to where you already track your investments — your Holdings.
If any of your shares are eligible, you can apply directly from there and keep an eye on the remaining days before the buyback window closes. Just select the stock, check the eligible quantity, enter the number of shares you want to tender, and submit the request online. Check the complete details here.
Once submitted, the request can be tracked from the platform itself. You can also modify or cancel the request while it is still in Pending status and before the Buyback window closes. Click here to check how to modify and cancel the Buyback.
Charges
At FYERS, we do not charge any platform fee for participating in Buybacks.
However, standard depository charges apply when shares are debited from your Demat account as part of the settlement process. The applicable DP charge is ₹12.50 + 18% GST.
Track Every Buyback Request
You can monitor your Buyback requests from FYERS Reports under Corporate Actions → Buyback Order Book.
Here, you can track the request status, view submitted quantities, check whether the request is pending, accepted, rejected, cancelled, or completed, and follow the settlement updates.
Points to Remember
Eligibility for a buyback depends on the company’s record date.
T1 holdings cannot be tendered for buyback.
Pledged shares cannot be tendered for buyback.
Once shares are submitted for buyback, they may remain blocked until settlement is completed.
Avoid selling shares after submitting a buyback request.
Buyback requests can be modified or cancelled only while they are in Pending status.
Shares bought using MTF cannot be tendered for buyback.
