By the way DVR stands for differential voting rights which means that you forego your rights to vote in a company and are paid a meagre extra percentage of dividend. The DVR shares were allowed in India in 2000. This allows a company to dilute equity without a matching reduction in promoters' stake. The aim of limiting voting rights is preventing hostile takeovers by separating economic interests and voting rights.
So crux is that if given an option to buy DVR share or not, do not buy it and go for its parent share to get the market price appreciation.

Mark our words and never commit the folly of buying the DVR shares as extra percentage being offered in dividend is just meager whereas their is a whole lot of difference in the price of a DVR share and a normal share when market prices it.

Market values a normal share at a much higher rate as compared to a DVR share.
