Buyback of Shares in the Indian Scenario

Abstract

A buyback occurs when the issuing company pays shareholders the market value per share and re-absorbs that portion of its ownership that was previously distributed among public and private investors. In recent decades, share buybacks have overtaken dividends as a preferred way to return cash to shareholders. The present study attempted to know why the company chosee buyback shares. This study aims at identifying the various methods of buyback shares and analysing the buyback shares in eastern countries. This study also analyzes the buyback scenario of the Indian capital market.
