Frequently Asked Questions
When does ESOP taxation occur?
In India, ESOPs are taxed twice: first as a 'perquisite' (salary) at the time of exercise, and later as 'capital gains' upon sale.
Why do I need a valuation certificate for ESOPs?
Under Section 17(2)(vi) of the Income Tax Act, the perquisite tax is calculated based on the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the share on the exercise date, which must be certified by a Merchant Banker.
Who calculates the ESOP FMV?
For unlisted companies, only a Category-I Merchant Banker is authorized to determine the FMV for perquisite tax purposes, though IBBI valuers frequently co-sign or model it.
