What are takeovers?
A takeover is a corporate action where one company (the acquirer) aims to gain control of another (the target). This is often done through a tender offer, where the acquirer proposes a fixed price to buy shares from the target company's shareholders.

The charge for applying for a takeover is ₹20 + 18% GST per order. These charges are non-refundable regardless of whether the order is accepted, rejected, or failed. If multiple orders are placed, charges apply to each order. Statutory charges are also applicable. To learn more about charges, see
