What is buyback of shares?     

The buyback is a corporate action in which a company buys back its shares from the existing shareholders, usually at a price higher than the market price. When the company buys back its shares, the number of shares outstanding in the market reduces. A buyback allows companies to invest in themselves. By reducing the number of shares outstanding on the market, buybacks increase the proportion of shares a company owns.  

At 10.30 am, shares of TCS were trading with over 2% discount on its previous price to Rs 3709.50 a share on the BSE on Monday.
