Rights Issue Open in July: Track all RE on NSE & BSE

Rights Issues allow existing shareholders to purchase additional shares of a company, usually at a discounted price, in proportion to their current holdings. This page provides a comprehensive view of all upcoming, ongoing, and completed Rights Issues in India. As a shareholder, you can track record dates, subscription windows, Rights Entitlement (RE) trading periods, issue prices, ratios, issue sizes, and other important information of ongoing and upgoing rights issue in one place.

Whether you're checking your eligibility or evaluating whether to subscribe, sell your RE, or buy additional REs from the market, this tracker helps you stay informed and never miss an important deadline.

When a rights issue is announced, eligible shareholders receive Rights Entitlements (REs) directly in their demat accounts. These REs are temporary securities that provide the right but not the obligation to apply for additional shares under the rights issue. Investors may also sell these entitlements on the stock exchange during the permitted trading window. Here is the list of ongoing and upcoming REs and their trading window.

What are Rights Entitlements (REs)?

A Rights Entitlement (RE) is a short-term instrument issued to existing shareholders when a company launches a rights issue.

Here’s what this means for investors:

• Credited to your demat account: Eligible shareholders automatically receive REs in their demat accounts.
• Represents eligibility: REs indicate the number of additional shares shareholders are entitled to apply for at the issue price.
• Tradable on exchanges: REs can be bought or sold on the stock exchange during a limited trading period.
• Temporary in nature: If REs are neither exercised nor sold before the deadline, they lapse and become worthless after the issue closes.
   

In simple terms, REs provide flexibility—investors can participate in the rights issue, sell their entitlement, or choose not to act.

What Can You Do With Your REs?

If REs are credited to your demat account, you generally have three options:

Apply for the Rights Shares
Use the REs to subscribe to additional shares at the rights issue price announced by the company.

Sell the REs on the Exchange
If you do not wish to invest further in the company, you may sell the REs in the market during the trading period.

Take No Action
If you neither apply for shares nor sell the REs within the prescribed timeline, the REs will lapse and cease to have any value after the issue closes.

Let’s look at an example to understand how rights issue work.

Suppose ABC Ltd company announces:

• Issue Ratio: 2 share for every 7 shares held
• Issue Price: ₹85 per share
• Current Market Price: ₹140 per share
   

If you hold 70 shares, you may receive 20 REs.

You can then choose to:

• Apply for 20 shares at ₹85 each
• Sell the 20 REs in the market during the RE trading period
• Allow them to expire if no action is taken before the deadline

To sum up

Rights Entitlements are designed to provide existing shareholders with an opportunity to maintain or increase their ownership in a company at a preferential price. At the same time, they offer flexibility by allowing investors to either participate in the rights issue or monetize their entitlement by selling it in the market.

You should carefully track trading timelines, application deadlines, and company announcements to avoid missing opportunities or allowing REs to lapse unintentionally.
