The article addresses valuation of share premium under s.56(2)(viib) and Rule 11UA, holding that a taxpayer may elect FMV by formulaic net asset route or by a valuer-certified Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method and that the Assessing Officer may scrutinise, challenge assumptions, obtain an independent valuation, but may not substitute a different valuation method than the one chosen by the assessee.
