27 November 2025 Yes — the amount paid to acquire Right Entitlements (RE) from another holder is added to the cost of acquisition of the right shares. In your example, the cost of purchase will be ₹110 (₹10 RE + ₹100 issue price), not just ₹100.

- If REs are received free of cost as an existing shareholder, their cost of acquisition is nil.
- If REs are purchased from another holder, the purchase price paid for RE becomes part of the cost of acquisition of the right shares subscribed.
