The main reason for holding DVR shares is to earn higher dividends than compared to regular shares. But, there is also a catch, with DVR shares -- these investors have lower voting rights.
DVR shares are differential voting rights (DVR) that are allowed to be issued by a listed company with differential voting and differential dividend rights. DVR shares are different from ordinary shares!
As per Motilal Oswal's blog, firstly DVRs have lower voting rights compared to ordinary shares. These DVR shares are therefore very useful for companies that want to raise money in the market without diluting effective control of the company. Secondly, to compensate for the lower voting rights, these DVR shares are paid a dividend premium of 10-20%. This ideally should make sense for the small and retail shareholders as they normally do not participate in the voting process.
In simple words, shareholders buy DVR shares for giving away part of their voting rights to earn higher dividends.
Tata Motors is the first to issue DVR shares in 2008, which later was followed by other companies as well. But there is still a limited appetite for DVRs and the majority of listed companies do not have DVR shares.
