Abstract: This study aims at assessing the impact of financial constraints on mode of payment employed and announcement returns of the acquiring companies in India. Further, the study also aims at analysing the combined impact of financial constraints and group affiliation on the mode of payment and announcement returns of the acquiring companies. It is found that the likelihood of stock financing on the part of acquiring companies increases with the increase in the financial constraints and the market reacts positively to such stock funded acquisitions. Thus, the study is able to validate the opportunity cost of capital theory. However, the financial advantage theory with respect to the mode of funding employed by group affiliated financially constrained acquiring companies cannot be substantiated by the results of the study.
