What has changed in the law — reviewed October 2026
- Angel tax: section 56(2)(viib) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 does not apply from assessment year 2025-26 (Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024), so share premium received from any investor is no longer taxed under that clause. Valuations are still required under separate regimes, each with its own law and signing professional: fair market value under Rule 11UA(1)(c) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 for section 56(2)(x) in the recipient's hands (net-asset basis for unquoted equity shares); FEMA pricing for a non-resident investor under the FEM (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, certified by a Chartered Accountant, SEBI-registered merchant banker or practising cost accountant; a registered valuer's report under section 247 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 13 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 for preferential allotments under section 62(1)(c); and grant-date fair value of the option under Ind AS 102 for ESOP accounting (reviewed 25 October 2026).
