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.
What about income tax on exercise?
When an employee exercises options, the difference between the share's fair market value on the exercise date and the price paid is taxed as a perquisite. For unlisted shares, the perquisite rules have long required that value to be determined by a SEBI-registered Category I merchant banker (Rule 3(8) of the 1962 Rules); we check the corresponding provision of the Income-tax Rules, 2026 for each engagement and coordinate that report where it is needed.
Employees of eligible DPIIT-recognised start-ups can defer the tax payment on this perquisite under the deferral provision, which we factor into plan communication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a registered valuer needed to grant ESOPs in an unlisted company?
The share-capital rules do not require one for ESOP grants; the company sets the exercise price within its accounting policies. A registered valuer is required for sweat equity shares.
Which value is used for tax on exercise?
The fair market value of the share on the exercise date, less the exercise price. For unlisted shares, the perquisite rules have required a SEBI-registered Category I merchant banker's valuation; we check the current rule for each engagement.
