Overview

The Income Tax Act requires a fair-value determination for many share transactions — most notably when an unlisted company issues shares at a premium (Section 56(2)(viib), the “angel tax” provision), where the premium above fair value can be taxed. Fair value is computed under Rule 11UA using methods such as NAV or DCF.

A proper Rule 11UA valuation report supports your share issue, protects against angel-tax exposure and provides documentation for assessments.

CorpRaasta arranges the Rule 11UA valuation through the appropriate registered professional (Merchant Banker for DCF where required) and ensures your share-issue pricing and documentation are defensible.

What is Income Tax Valuation (Rule 11UA)?

Income tax valuation under Rule 11UA determines the fair market value of unlisted shares for income-tax purposes, including for share issues under the angel-tax provision (Section 56(2)(viib)).

Why it matters

Issuing shares above fair value without proper valuation can attract angel tax on the excess premium. A Rule 11UA report justifies your pricing and reduces the risk of a tax demand.

Frequently asked questions

Under Section 56(2)(viib), where an unlisted company issues shares above fair value, the excess premium can be taxed; a Rule 11UA valuation helps justify the pricing.

Rule 11UA permits methods such as net asset value (NAV) and, where applicable, discounted cash flow (DCF) by a Merchant Banker.

It is important for unlisted companies issuing shares at a premium; eligible recognised startups may have specific exemptions, which we assess for you.
