Discounted Cash Flow valuation of shares issued by a newly incorporated company was recognised as a valid method for section 56(2)(viib) purposes, even before its later notification under Rule 11UA. Recognition by valuation professionals was distinguished from legislative notification, and the Net Asset Value method was considered unsuitable for a newly incorporated company.
