The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corp (IRCTC) share price has fallen by as much as 20 per cent and due to that, there is an intraday low of Rs 650.10 on the BSE. It is being said that the price has plunged after the railway ministry asked the company to share its revenue earned from convenience fees collected by IRCTC in the ratio of 50:50 from November 1, 2021.
The company in a press release said that it is to be informed that the Ministry of Railways has conveyed its decision to share the revenue earned from the convenience fees collected by IRCTC.
Earlier, the stock of IRCTC jumped by 20 per cent as it started trading ex-stock split. From Thursday onwards, IRCTC shares were split in the ratio of 1:5, which was sub-divided by the face value of the share from Rs 10 per share to Rs 2 per share.
As soon as the price of IRCTC started plunging, tweeple started creating a meme fest on social media.
One of the users wrote that IRCTC : Wo karna Chahte Grind
Operators : Mai bhi baitha masti may.
Another user wrote that Golmaal Hai Bhaai Sab Golmaal Hai.
Yet another wrote that The decision has been reversed. But what about those investors who sold their shares in the last two hours of trading? Clearly, the decision had not taken the “signalling effect” into account. Can’t play with listed companies like this!
