Section 50CA – Valuation of shares of a company in distress- Suggestion by ICAI

Issue/Justification

In case, where the shares of a company are transferred in distressed condition, the rule 11UA/11UAA prescribing the method to determine the FMV would not provide the correct FMV of shares.

The said Rules do not provide the method to value the shares of a company sold/transferred in distressed condition.

Suggestion by ICAI for Budget 2018

It is therefore suggested that in case where the shares of a company are transferred in distressed condition, the FMV as determined by the merchant banker or an accountant as defined in Rule 11U shall be considered.
