Infosys Buyback: Zerodha's Nithin Kamath Warns Investors of Tax Trap

Infosys' record Rs 18,000 crore share buyback is set to begin on November 14, 2025. Investors eligible for the buyback must understand taxation rules before participating. Gains from the offer are taxed as "income from other sources" and the entire investment value is considered a capital loss. Investors should consider other capital gains that can be offset against these losses. Zerodha's platform has tools to help investors navigate these calculations.
