Infosys Share Buyback Today: Record Date Set for Rs 18,000 Crore Buyback on T+1 Settlement; Who is Eligible?

Tech giant Infosys will finalise shareholder eligibility for its largest-ever share buyback on Friday, November 14, which has been set as the official record date. Investors who hold Infosys shares at the end of today's trading session will qualify for the Rs 18,000 crore buyback.

Infosys Share Buyback Record Date Today on November 14, 2025

The company will conduct the buyback through the tender offer route, where shares are repurchased at a fixed price of Rs 1,800 per share, a 17% premium over Thursday's closing price. The company is yet to announce the buyback window and tendering dates.

Who Is Eligible for Infosys Share Buyback?

Only shareholders who already held Infosys shares before today's market opening or received delivery by the previous session will be eligible.

Infosys Shares T+1 Settlement Cycle

The record date is crucial because of the T+1 settlement cycle in the Indian stock market. Shares purchased today will not be credited to an investor's demat account on the same day. Therefore, anyone buying Infosys shares on November 14 will not appear in the company's records in time and will not qualify for the buyback.

Under the revised tax regulations effective October 1, 2024, buybacks are no longer taxed at the company level. Instead, the amount received by shareholders is considered dividend income and is taxable according to the individual's income tax slab, shifting the entire tax responsibility to investors.

This marks Infosys' fifth and largest share buyback to date. The company previously carried out buybacks in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022-23, each offered at a premium ranging from 18% to 30%. With the current Rs 18,000 crore program, Infosys continues its strategy of rewarding shareholders through premium repurchase initiatives.
