The 11UA Valuation refers to the valuation rules prescribed under Rule 11UA of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, which governs the determination of the fair market value (FMV) of shares and securities for tax purposes in India. This rule is particularly relevant for transactions involving the issuance of shares by a company, especially under Section 56(2)(viib) of the Income Tax Act, which deals with the taxation of premium received on shares issued above their FMV.
Key Aspects of Rule 11UA Valuation:
Applicability – Rule 11UA is used to calculate FMV for:
Issue of shares by unlisted companies (for angel tax provisions).
Transfer of shares under Section 56(2)(x) (gift, etc.).
Other specified transactions requiring FMV determination.
Valuation Methods – The rule provides two primary methods:
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method – Used for valuing shares based on future cash flow projections.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Method – Based on the book value of assets minus liabilities.
Valuation Date & Reporting – The valuation must be conducted by a registered merchant banker or independent chartered accountant and should be as per the specified guidelines.
Recent Updates – The rule has been amended over time, including changes in valuation methodologies and exemptions for startups (subject to conditions).
Why is 11UA Valuation Important?
Ensures compliance with tax laws to avoid penalties.
Helps determine the correct premium on shares to prevent tax scrutiny.
Essential for startups raising funds to avoid angel tax implications.
