Which ESOP valuation do I need for accounting, employee tax or a cross-border purpose?
Each purpose needs its own value, on its own date. Ind AS 102 needs the fair value of each option at the grant date, using an option-pricing model such as Black-Scholes or binomial; the company expenses it over the vesting period and its auditor reviews it. Employee tax needs the fair market value of the share, not the option, on the exercise date: the excess over the exercise price is taxed as a perquisite (Section 17(2)(vi) of the Income-tax Act, 1961; the corresponding provision of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27). For unlisted shares that value must come from a SEBI-registered Category I merchant banker. Where there is a US parent, its plan may also need a separate 409A value.

Appellate forum where ESOP perquisite is contested: ITAT Delhi (multiple benches — largest in India).

New Delhi houses the principal headquarters of the Government of India — Ministry of Finance, MCA, DGFT, RBI Northern Office, North Block, Udyog Bhawan — and the registries of the Supreme Court, Delhi High Court principal bench, and ITAT principal bench. Connaught Place and Janpath remain the densest ad-cat-I corporate-banking centre in north India.

The economic mix of New Delhi runs across media & advertising, wholesale trade (Naya Bazar, Khari Baoli, Old Delhi), retail & FMCG HQs — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Okhla Industrial Area, Bawana Industrial Area. On the AD-Bank side, Delhi is the second-largest AD-I market after Mumbai; every foreign bank operates a dedicated mid- and large-corporate desk in Connaught Place / Nehru Place / Aerocity.

Delhi hosts ITAT's principal bench, the High Court bench with the largest TP-litigation docket, and the headquarters of the CBDT, DGFT, MCA and Competition Commission of India — making it the regulatory and judicial centre of gravity for company law in India.
