In terms of proviso to the Regulation 6 of the SEBI (Buyback of Securities) Regulations, 2018, fifteen percent of the number of securities which the company proposes to buy back or number of securities entitled as per their shareholding, whichever is higher, shall be reserved for small shareholders.

The number of shares eligible for buy back under small shareholders category will be: ₹200000 / ₹2514.05 = 79.55 shares 79.55 shares rounded off to lower whole number i.e 79 shares. Hence, equity shareholders holding not more than 79 shares of TechNoGrow Ltd. shall be classified as Small Shareholders.
