What is Rights Issue & Rights Entitlement? How to Apply & Sell Rights Issue Shares?

A rights issue is a corporate action where an offer is made by a company to its existing shareholders to buy new shares in the company. The number of new shares offered is usually proportional to the number of existing shares held by the shareholder. The price at which the new shares can be purchased is usually at a discount to the current market price of the shares.
In order to apply for these rights issues, shareholders need to have Rights entitlement. By Rights entitlement we mean a temporary demat security that represents the shareholder's eligibility to apply for the rights issue. Rights entitlements are offered to shareholders as a ratio to the number of securities held on the record date.
In this video, we discuss in detail the process to apply and sell rights issue in Hindi.
