Quick Summary
This discussion explores the taxability of long-term capital gains when a company buys back shares from a shareholder. Initially thought to be taxable for the shareholder, further research suggests it's exempt under Section 10(34A) and the tax liability falls on the company under Section 115QA. The company is responsible for TDS, not the shareholder, though this applies specifically to shares not listed on recognised stock exchanges.

It is taxable as long term capital gains.

exemption not available since not suffered stt as not having been routed through stock exchange.

my views
After a quite research i found out that ,

it will not be taxable in the hands of shareholder since it is exempt u/s - 10(34A).

Further as per section 115QA the company is liable to pay tax and not the shareholder.

Further , the company shall not deduct TDS from the sale consideration of the shareholder and company itself is liable to pay TDS too .
You are right. my apologies.

but it is applicable only for shares not listed on recognised stock exchanges.

correct me if I am wrong.
