What is ESOP valuation?
ESOP valuation estimates the value of stock options given to employees. Accounting, company law and income tax each look at a different value at a different date, so one plan usually needs more than one number.
What does the Companies Act require?
An unlisted company grants ESOPs under section 62(1)(b) and Rule 12 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, with a special resolution and a minimum vesting period of one year. The exercise price is set by the company within its accounting policies. Sweat equity shares, by contrast, must be valued by a registered valuer. Listed companies follow the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021.
How are options valued for the accounts?
Ind AS 102 (and, for non-Ind AS companies, the ICAI Guidance Note on Accounting for Share-based Payments) measures options at fair value on the grant date, using an option-pricing model such as Black-Scholes, a binomial lattice or Monte Carlo simulation. Inputs include the share value, exercise price, expected life, volatility, risk-free rate and dividend yield.
