Dear Anand, TCS buyback was through recognised stock exchange route and the STT is paid on the shares tendered,so if the period of holding is more than 1 year, the gain is treated as Long Term Capital Gains. In your case, the gains (if any) are considered as Short Term Capital Gains and taxable at 15%. You may kindly go through this link..
