It is proposed to provide that in case of transfer of shares of a company other than quoted share, the fair market value of such shares determined in the prescribed manner shall be deemed to be the full value of consideration for the purpose of computing income chargeable to tax as capital gains.

It is also proposed to define the term “quoted share”.

This amendment will take effect from 1st April, 2018 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2018-2019 and subsequent years.
