PVP Rights Issue Explained | Indian Stocks Research
# Rights Issue Explained
A rights issue is when a company offers existing shareholders the right to buy new shares directly from the company at a discounted price, typically before the shares are offered to the general public.
How It Works
• Proportional offering — Each shareholder gets the right to purchase a fixed number of new shares based on their current holding (e.g., 1 new share for every 5 shares owned)
• Discounted price — The issue price is usually below the current market price, incentivizing participation
• Fixed timeline — Shareholders have a limited window (typically 7–30 days) to exercise their rights
• Transferable rights — Shareholders can sell their unused rights on the stock exchange if they don't want to participate
Why Companies Issue Rights
• Raise capital for expansion, debt repayment, or working capital
• Dilute ownership while maintaining shareholder control (existing shareholders can maintain their % by participating)
• Lower cost of capital compared to public offerings
Impact on Stock Price
The stock typically trades ex-rights (excluding rights value) on announcement, often resulting in a price dip. Shareholders who exercise their rights may see dilution offset by the company's capital strengthening.

How does rights issue differ from bonus?
# Rights Issue vs. Bonus Issue
| Aspect | Rights Issue | Bonus Issue |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? | Company offers new shares at discounted price | Company distributes free shares from reserves |
| Cost to shareholder | Must pay subscription price | Completely free |
| Capital raised | ✅ Yes — company gets cash | ❌ No — no capital raised |
| Ownership dilution | Dilution occurs; can be avoided by not participating | Dilution occurs; automatic for all shareholders |
| Voting power | Increased if you participate; unchanged if you don't | Automatically increased for all shareholders |
| Action required | Yes — must decide to buy or sell rights | No — automatic, no action needed |
| Timeframe | Limited subscription window (7–30 days) | One-time event; shares credited to account |
| Why issued | Raise capital for business needs | Reward loyal shareholders; optimize share price |
Example
Rights Issue: Company offers 1 new share at ₹100 for every 5 shares owned. You pay ₹100 to get that share.
Bonus Issue: Company gives 1 free share for every 5 shares owned. You get it instantly at no cost.
Tax & Market Impact
• Rights: Subscription price becomes your cost basis; subsequent gains are taxable
• Bonus: Cost basis remains unchanged; bonus shares get same acquisition cost as original holdings
Both dilute EPS initially but signal different management intents — rights = capital needs; bonus = surplus reserves & shareholder reward.
