It may be noted that for most perquisites the valuation rules which were contained in the old Rule 3 (as it applied to those employees who, or to items of perquisites which, were not subject to FBT) have remained unchanged. 1. New Perquisite rules in respect of accommodation / house property provided by employer including accommodation in hotel.2. New rules for valuation of perquisites for use of motor car by staff for personal use – provided by employer.3. Valuation of perquisites in respect of employee stock option (ESOP) for the financial year 2009-2010.

The valuation of shares and specified securities in relation to employee stock option have been brought under Rule 3 itself, and Rules 40C and 40D of the Income-tax Rules will no longer be apply.

All other aspects in relation to valuation of stock options in Rule 40C and 40D remain the same even after the amendment.
