The assessee produced a valuation report and market valuation of its subsidiary to substantiate the FMV. Reworking the subsidiary's value using methods like discounted cash flow (DCF) is permissible if the valuation is correctly established. The tax authorities erred in not allowing modification of NAV components. The assessee's approach to determine FMV based on the subsidiary's valuation is in line with Section 56(2)(viib). The ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal on this issue. en-us Sat, 07 Sep 2024 08:19:17 +0530 Sat, 07 Sep 2024 08:19:17 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=81135 Section 56(2)(viib) deals with the consideration received by a company for issue of shares at a premium.
