ESOP Valuation FAQs - Expert Answers
What is ESOP valuation and why is it mandatory in India?
ESOP valuation is the fair value assessment of employee stock option plans required under Companies Act 2013. It's mandatory for unlisted companies to conduct annual ESOP valuations by IBBI registered valuers to ensure fair pricing, regulatory compliance, and proper accounting treatment under Ind AS 102.
When is ESOP valuation required under Companies Act 2013?
ESOP valuation is required at: scheme initiation/board approval, annual revaluations for ongoing schemes, grant date for new option issuances, exercise events for tax compliance, and modification of existing ESOP terms. All must be conducted by IBBI registered valuers.
What is the cost of ESOP valuation services in India?
ESOP valuation costs range from ₹25,000 for annual revaluations to ₹50,000 for complex initial scheme valuations. Factors affecting cost include company size, scheme complexity, number of option grants, and timeline requirements. All fees include comprehensive reporting and compliance documentation.
How long does ESOP valuation take to complete?
Standard ESOP valuations take 7-10 working days from document submission. Complex valuations involving multiple share classes or intricate vesting may take 12-15 days. Expedited services available within 5 days for urgent compliance deadlines.
What documents are required for ESOP valuation?
Required documents include: ESOP scheme document, board resolutions, cap table, financial statements (3 years), management accounts, business plan, grant schedules, vesting terms, and previous valuation reports. Industry-specific documents may be additional required.
