Overview

Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) require valuation at multiple points — to set a fair exercise price at grant, to record a fair-value accounting charge, and to compute the perquisite value taxable in the employee’s hands on exercise.

Accurate ESOP valuations keep your plan compliant with company law, accounting standards and income-tax rules, and give employees clarity on the value of their options.

CorpRaasta provides ESOP valuations using recognised option-pricing and fair-value methods, coordinated with the appropriate registered professional where a statutory report is required.

Frequently asked questions

Valuation is needed at grant (exercise price), for accounting (fair-value charge) and at exercise (perquisite tax), as each serves a different purpose.

On exercise, the difference between the fair value of the shares and the exercise price is treated as a taxable perquisite, based on a valuation.

Recognised option-pricing and fair-value methods are used, aligned with accounting standards and income-tax rules.
